Painterly Prints in Nineteenth-Century Japan

June 1 - September 23, 2007

The five prints by Sadanobu II on this wall may have been conceived as a set because of their similarity in size and theme. In this striking composition, Sadanobu II has placed the pheasant and pine on the left half of the page, filling the blank space on the right only with his signature and seal. This use of the image surface is also seen in Japanese painting.

A Celebration of the New Year in Japanese Woodblock Prints

January 1 - March 1, 1990

Designed by Sadanobu, an Osaka ukiyo-e print artist, this print reflects the influence of the popular Kyoto-based Maruyama-Shijo School style of painting in its fine balance of beautiful, deceptively simple design and detailed surface description.
