The exhibition features almost 50 works spanning the history of
Japanese woodblock printing, from the 17th through 20th century; these
include single-sheet prints, luxury surimono prints, printed
handscrolls, and printed books by renowned designers such as Suzuki
Harunobu (1725–1770), pioneer of the full-color print; landscape
specialist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858); enigmatic designer Sharaku
(active 1794–95), best known for "big head" (ōkubi) actor prints; Itō
Jakuchū (1716–1800); and the ever-popular Katsushika Hokusai
(1760–1849). Also included are modern "new print" (shin hanga) and
"creative print" (sōsaku hanga) works by the leaders of these two
20th-century movements, as well as a selection of woodblock printing
tools to enhance visitors' understanding of the medium.
