Echoes of Nature: 200 Years of Japanese Printmaking
October 7, 2026 – January 23, 2027
For centuries, Japanese printmakers have turned to the natural world not only for its beauty, but as a way to express deep emotion and spiritual reflection. Through imagery of mountains, rivers, and flora, artists have captured the fleeting, sublime qualities of nature. From Edo-period works (1603–1868) by masters such as Utagawa Hiroshige and Takahashi Shōtei to postwar modernist prints, this exhibition traces how artists across 200 years have continually drawn inspiration from the landscape. Showcasing both traditional woodblock techniques and modern methods such as etching, lithography, mezzotint, and serigraphy, the exhibition highlights nature’s enduring presence at the heart of Japanese printmaking.
Celebrate the opening of Echoes of Nature: 200 Years of Japanese Printmaking with an evening inspired by Japanese art, craft, and tradition.
The evening is planned to begin with a tea ceremony at 4:30 PM, followed by drop-in activities from 5:30-7:30 PM. Guests can explore the exhibition while enjoying a short curator talk at 6:15 PM and view demonstrations connected to traditions such as origami and ceramics.
This event is free.
The Tea Ceremony is at capacity.
