FARBEN JAPANS

The exhibition Farben Japans - Holzschnitte aus der Sammlung der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek
shows Japanese color woodcuts spanning three centuries: from the beginnings of multi-color
printing in the mid-eighteenth century to shin-hanga  the "new prints" of the twentieth
century. Artistic excellence combined with craftsmanship characterize the Japanese color
woodcuts. Works by artists such as Utamaro  Hokusai  Hiroshige  Yoshitoshi  and Hasui reveal
the distinctive stylistic features and diverse cultural and historical references typical of
this art form. The exhibition presents the entire spectrum of color-printed woodcuts:
illustrated books  rare triptychs  or iconic single-sheet prints such as Hokusai's Great Wave
off Kanagawa. In addition to a detailed illustrated section  the book accompanying the
exhibition also contains a series of essays that shed light on various aspects of Japanese
color woodcut prints and the context in which they were created.
