      Identifier: MS-2013-043

      Dates

      • Creation: circa 1765-1964 (bulk 1780-1860)
      • Creation: Majority of material found within 1780 - 1860

      Scope and Contents

      This collection contains Japanese artwork dating from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. While the majority of this collection consists of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, there are also a number of examples of the mingei (folk art) movement and the sosaku hanga ("creative prints") movement of the early 20th century, including pieces by Sadao Watanabe, Kiyoshi Saito, and Unichi Hiratsuka.

      The bulk of the ukiyo-e prints are by Ando Hiroshige; other notable artists include Katsushika Hokusai, Katsukawa Shunko, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Isoda Koryusai. The collection contains 46 prints from Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty Three Stations of the Tokaido Road," as well as several images from other series including "The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido Road" and "Chushingura" (sometimes translated as "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers," "The Revenge of the Loyal Retainers," or "The Tale of the 47 Ronin"). Overall the collection contains excellent examples of tr

      This year’s Asia Week in New York (March 10–19) offers an array of auctions, lectures, and exhibitions, including this one at Scholten Japanese Art:

      Ukiyo-e Tales: Stories from the Floating World
      Scholten Japanese Art, New York, 10–31 March 2016

      Scholten Japanese Art participates in Asia Week 2016 with Ukiyo-e Tales: Stories from the Floating World, an exhibition focused on classic Japanese woodblock prints. The exhibition will take us back to the golden age of ukiyo-e and will feature works by some of the most important artists of the late 18th and up to the mid-19th century. We will focus predominately on images of beauties and the layers of meaning and stories that are conveyed via subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) clues found in the compositions. The exhibition will begin with works by Suzuki Harunobu (ca. 1724–70), who is largely credited with bringing together all of the elements that launched the production of nishiki -e (lit. brocade pictures), the full-color prints that we recognize today as ukiyo-e or images of the floating world. The term ukiyo (lit. ‘floating world’) references an older Buddhis
