Idemitsu Mako at Kanagawa Women's Center
Asian Art News, Sept. 1994, v. 4, no. 5
Nancy Shalala reviews the ironic subject matter of Idemitsu Mako's subversive feminist video art. Dubbed Japan's "first feminist artist", Mako's film and video work parodies and criticizes Japan's post-World War II cultural hegemony, particularly women's relegation to motherhood and the domestic sphere.
