The “Hokusai and Ukiyo-e: The Floating World” exhibition showcases 60 works and artifacts by the masters of Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868). Works by acclaimed artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige are a window into the life during this time when the city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) thrived as the center of Japan’s economy and culture. The collection includes hand-painted, original silks made from carved woodblocks that were meticulously placed and then hand-painted, making each print truly one-of-a-kind.
The Exhibition is organized by the Cleve Carney Museum of Art in collaboration with the Museo d’Arte Orientale E. Chiossone of Genoa and with the support of MondoMostre. The Exhibition will feature a historical area with multi-media elements, a Japanese Garden, a Children’s Edo & Anime area, and an interactive Edo Experience with Shogun and Kabuki Costumes.
The exhibition will feature a collection of 53 original works of art and 13 artifacts that have never been seen in the U.S.
More than a wave, this exhibition promises to be more than your typical museum exhibition with engaging experiences that will immerse guests in Edo culture through several interactive areas, including: a multi-media historical display, serene Japanese garden, anime exhibit, children’s area and interactive Edo experience including period garments such as Shogun and Kabuki fashion replicas, and more.
