Ukiyo-e prints are now appreciated and collected as art objects. However, in the Edo period, they were media that contained a variety of information and functioned as a mirror reflecting the social conditions of the time. At the same time, they were getting appreciated as works of art as well. This exhibition will explore the power and possibilities of ukiyo-e prints as media by showcasing works by Hokusai, his disciples, and other artists. The appeal of ukiyo-e prints will be conveyed from various angles, such as the history of woodblock printing, changes in the production techniques of ukiyo-e prints, variations in woodblock format, the diverse subject matter, and the imagination of artists.
