Japanese woodblock prints from over two centuries go on display at Tokyo museum

Description

Tokyo, Jul 22 (EFE).- A Tokyo museum on Wednesday put on display 455 woodblock prints created over two centuries in one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of the art, known as "ukiyo-e," which inspired impressionist painters of the 20th century.The pieces by 60 artists at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum include the "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), considered the most widely circulated Japanese artwork across the world.The journey through the block-print art begins with its origins in the Enpo Era (1673-1681) and continues up to the middle of the 19th century when Japanese woodcuts began to absorb foreign techniques and influences.
