Say “ukiyo-e” and most people will think of woodblock prints, but in truth the genre has its roots in painting. Brought together here are some 125 paintings by sixty artists, including Iwasa Matabei (1578–1650), considered a forerunner of ukiyo-e; Hishikawa Moronobu, who originated the genre in the seventeenth- and nineteenth-century masters Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai Sharaku, Katsushika Hokusai, and Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Relive the three-hundred-year history of ukiyo-e and revel in each artist’s deftly alluring lines and magical colors—the soul of the brushwork lodged within the picture plane.
