THE JAPANESE LANDSCAPE, FROM HOKUSAI TO HASUI

From June 21 to 2 October 2017 at the National Museum of Asian Arts Guimet.

The MNAAG offers a journey through its collection of landscape prints. New genre exalting the passage of the seasons and the emblematic places of Japan, the landscape sees its full bloom in the art of Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) who thus knew how to renew the art of the'Ukiyo-e. With a wealth of about sixty works, this exhibition is also an opportunity to present newly acquired prints of Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), beautiful modern echoes of this art, probably the most emblematic of Japan.
