Woodblock printing in Japan is a technique best known for its use in the ukiyo-e artistic genre of single sheets, but it was also used for printing books. The Japanese water-based inks provide a wide range of vivid colors, glazes, and transparency.

This exhibition is a group of works created by a large number of painters, centered on the new prints of Hiroshi Yoshida and Kawase Yusui. From their point of view, it will follow the landscape beauty of Japan and the new movement of woodcuts from Taisho to the early Showa era.
