The city of Edo (Tokyo) was the largest city in the world by 1800, and a city of commercial and artistic life. In this talk, Dr. Brenda G. Jordan will highlight one of the defining arts of this period in Japan—the industry of the colored woodblock print. Designed and produced by a collaborative process, and sold to people from all walks of life, nineteenth century Japanese prints provide a window into Edo urban culture—what people thought was important, what they liked to do, and where their interests lay. This lecture will serve as a kickoff event for the Hiroshige exhibit, which will be open from March 24 to July 8, 2018.
Join the JASP for this free evening at the Carnegie Museum of Art Theater on March 29, 2018. Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided.
