The exhibition showcases artworks by the masters of Ukiyo-e art of Japan’s flourishing Edo Period (1603-1868). Works by acclaimed artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige offer a window into life during a time when the city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) thrived as the center of Japan’s economy and culture. “Ukiyo-e," often translated as "Images of the floating world,” refers to Japanese paintings and woodblock prints that depicted life in Edo, when pleasurable attributes of life were encouraged, distant from the control of the military shogunate power. "Ukiyo-e" artwork showcased the city’s fashions and lively streets, and its famous places and entertainment districts, including the theater, cultural and arts quarters.  

Registered members will attend a lecture in the Belushi Auditorium and a tour of the exhibit. Times are 11:00am and 11:15am.
