Short Course

A Journey Through the Floating World: How to Look at Japanese Woodblock Prints

 Through this course you will understand of the materials and innovations of Japanese woodblock prints 

Overview Academic Profile Additional Information Contact Us
Overview

Overview

What do we see, when we view a Japanese ukiyo-e print? How do we ‘read’ the signs, symbols and narratives – from courtesans to actors, travellers to warriors? What materials and makers are involved in their production? How did they evolve to become the iconic images we know today? What impact have these artworks had on art and culture in the West? This three-day course explores these questions, giving you the confidence to look independently, and develop a deeper connection and enjoyment of this exquisite art form.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understanding of the materials and innovations of Japanese woodblock prints 
  • Ability to analyse the visual language of ukiyo-e prints and decode the key subjects
  • Familiarity with the leading print artists of the 18th and 19th centuries and appreciation of their distinctive styles, including Utamaro, Hiroshige, Hokusai and Kuniyoshi
