Otsu-e are mass-produced popular drawings that often appeared on woodblocks or monochrome prints during the Edo period. They became known across Japan as a souvenir of the Otsu area. Otsu-e tended to depict standard themes such as Kabuki actors or scenes from plays. An 1853 series by Kuniyoshi Utagawa became a hit. This exhibition introduces 11 of the 12 Otsu-e from the museum collection along with Nishiki-e color prints featuring Otsu-e motifs from the late-Edo through early-Meiji Eras. Explore the imagery of Otsu-e in the late Edo period.
