Opening Celebration
The Artistry and Reunion of Two Surimono Albums
Thursday, May 21 / 5:30-7:30 pm
Museum Galleries
Join us for the opening celebration of The Artistry and Reunion of Two Surimono Albums, a rare exhibition bringing together two extraordinary collections of privately commissioned Japanese woodblock prints for the first time in nearly a century. Created in the 1820s and 1830s, these richly detailed surimono combine exquisite printmaking with playful poetry, offering a glimpse into Japan’s vibrant artistic and literary circles of the time.
Enjoy an evening of refreshments, artist demonstrations, and music as you explore the beauty and craftsmanship of these remarkable works.
