Floating World: Japanese Ukiyo-E May 11, 2007

This is an exhibition of "Ukiyo-e," a Japanese concept of artwork, first developed in the 17th century, which depicts everyday life including landscapes, urban life, laborers and the theater. In the early 20th century, "ukiyo-e" saw a renaissance in the "shin hanga," or new prints made by artists and workshops for the tourist trade.
