RISD Museum
Mountains and Rivers: Scenic Views of Japan
November 6 - July 10, 2010

Beginning in the early 19th century, landscape evolved into a popular theme in Japanese printmaking. This subject matter, drawn from older painting traditions, was transferred to the medium of woodblock printing, where richer, more innovative thematic content appeared. This exhibition will highlight depictions of famous places (meisho), including selections from the Museum's complete set of Hiroshige's Tÿkaidÿ (Eastern Sea Route) prints and Hokusai's series of the Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji.
