Photo Caption: Fuji in Clear Weather (Red Fuji), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji, by Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760-1849), early 1830s, color woodblock print, Mary A. Ainsworth Bequest, 1950.711
Exhibit Information: A cornerstone of the AMAM's renowned Asian art collection, the works are well-known to print scholars. Two hundred of the prints toured three venues in Japan in 2019 (the museums in Chiba, Shizuoka, and Osaka) and are now back in Oberlin. A selection was on view briefly before the AMAM's closure due to Covid-19, and will be seen again during the fall semester.
Dr. Kevin R. E. Greenwood, the museum's Joan L. Danforth Curator of Asian Art, will talk with us about the exhibition and the richness and complexity of Japan's print tradition, as well as aspects of Mary Ainsworth's life.
Dr. Andria Derstine, Director of the AMAM, will provide a brief overview of the AMAM, discuss what goes into organizing a complex international show, and update us on plans to welcome students back to the museum.
