Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World

English

By (author): Karin Breuer Rhiannon Paget

A stunning introduction to the history of Japanese printmaking, with highlights from the de Young museum's vast collection

In 1868, Japan underwent a dramatic transformation following the overthrow of the shogun by supporters of Emperor Meiji, marking the end of feudal military rule and ushering in a new era of government that promoted modernizing the country and interacting with other nations.

Japanese print culture, which had flourished for more than a century with the production of color woodcuts (the so-called ukiyo-e, or floating world images), also changed course during the Meiji era (18681912), as societal changes and the once-isolationist countrys new global engagement provided a wealth of new subjects for artists to capture.

Featuring selections from the renowned Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts permanent collection, Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World documents the shift from delicately colored ukiyo-e depictions of actors, courtesans, and scenic views to brightly colored images of Western architecture, modern military warfare, technology (railroad trains, steam-powered ships, telegraph lines), and Victorian fashions and customs.
