Escape to a tantalizing afternoon of beauty and pleasure found within the MFA's world-renowned collection of color woodblock prints. This urban dream of a "floating world," far away from responsibility and cares, featured such subjects as celebrity actors, courtesans, and dream-like landscapes.

Considering that shunga is an important genre within Ukiyo-e, and discussed in this lecture, it's a bit pathetic that none of it is shown here.

Modern art was definitely not started in Paris. You can see most of impressionism, post impressionism and even most of modern art by seeing these Japanese artists. It all makes sense, since France forced Japan to trade with them. These guys are at least 100 years ahead .

Very interesting, thank you very much! I wish the art history classes at my University were more focused on Japanese and Asian art in general. I always wanted to learn more about it.

I am an ukiyo-e collector. I am also a painter and seal carver. I hope to have exchanges with everyone. Some of my works and ukiyo-e paintings are for sale in my Etsy store, but I am more interested in exchanging arts.

Absolutely captivating, thank you. That 1 hour and 40 minutes flew by. The older I get the more I realise I know so little.

Excellent talk! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I don't mind the eh-uhms and lack of subtitles. You're generous enough to post this. Some people seem to notice only the flaws.
