Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga draws from the university’s

collection of over 300 examples from this important

and hugely influential art movement. The prints on

view date from the height of color ukiyo-e printmaking

(c1780–1868) through Japan’s Meiji period (1868-1912)

to twentieth century impressions of the Shin Hanga

movement (1915–1940s). masters of this medium are

represented, including the work of utamaro, Kuniyoshi,

hokusai, hiroshida, Tsuchiya Koitsu and yoshida hiroshi.

The prints exemplify the soft, painterly style that is

synonymous with the Japanese woodcut, and illustrates

the wide range of subjects from courtesans to Kabuki

theater and the Japanese landscape.
