Moronobu Hishikawa

Hishikawa Moronobu (1618?–94) was a pioneer of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints and paintings, particularly known for his work Beauty Looking Back. Genre Scenes of the Twelve Months, in the Seikado collection, is a brilliant pictorial scroll executed on a vast scale, using Moronobu’s unique pictorial gifts to vividly illustrate the lives of ordinary people throughout the year. In addition to screens and scrolls by Moronobu himself, the exhibition traces his artistic genealogy, looking at his influence on Hanabusa Itchō and artists of the Miyagawa school.
