Three Centuries of Japanese Woodblock
Prints from the Chazen Museum Collection
May 6–July 17, 2016 | Pleasant T. Rowland Galleries
This survey of Japanese printmaking will include more
than one hundred of the most famous works in the
Museum’s highly regarded collection, including early
prints that are so light sensitive that they are on view
only once in a decade. Prints from the last half of the
eighteenth century, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
will show the mastery of the printmakers and how they
transformed the medium in response to changing times.
