[ColumnNetwork.org] This exhibition reviews the history of Japanese wood prints from the Meiji era to the post Second World War. On show are works from the permanent collection of the museum as well as prints loaned from other museums. Special focus is placed on artists who produced the “warm” prints, such as Sumio Kawakami, Shikoh Munakata and Koshiro Onchi.
