Gallery Soumei-do is pleased to present the Exhibition of the UKIYO-E PROJECT.
The term 'Ukiyo' in Ukiyo-e means 'the present' or 'modern times,' and Ukiyo-e artworks historically depicted popular beauties, kabuki actors, and tourist spots from their respective eras.
The UKIYO-E PROJECT, established in 2014 by Mitsui Yuka, is a contemporary print publisher that seeks to bring the spirit of Ukiyo-e into the modern age, capturing contemporary stars and landscapes through traditional woodblock printing techniques.
This new endeavor, which creates fresh demand for Ukiyo-e artisans and ensures the transmission of their techniques to future generations, has been highly acclaimed worldwide. The works are held in collections such as the British Museum, the Museum of Applied Arts in Austria, and the University of Miami Libraries.
