Robyn Buntin of Honolulu

This woodblock print by Mayumi Oda is associated with Robyn Buntin of Honolulu — the Honolulu-based gallery that became one of the primary dealers of Oda's work, connecting her feminist Buddhist printmaking with the Pacific-oriented collector community of Hawaii. Oda settled in Hawaii in the 1990s after decades in New York, and the Pacific context — with its Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Asian cultural currents — influenced the mythological and ecological themes of her later work. Robyn Buntin's gallery specialized in Asian art and provided Oda's prints with a dealer context that understood their complex positioning between Japanese tradition, feminist politics, and Buddhist spirituality.
