Join The Japan Foundation, London, for an illustrated talk by Koyama Shuko, curator at the Edo-Tokyo Museum in Tokyo, on hanga (woodblock print) works. With a particular focus on the 1920s and 1930s, Koyama explores the ways in which the artists of this time captured the changing city of Tokyo, while also comparing this more recent hanga to its ukiyo-e predecessors.
This event is organized in celebration of the opening of Tokyo, naissance d’une ville moderne (Tokyo, the Birth of a Modern City) at the Japan Foundation’s Maison de la culture du Japon in Paris.
This event is held as part of the Japan Foundation Seminar Series at Japan House London, and is organised by the Japan Foundation, London in collaboration with the Edo-Tokyo Museum and with support from Japan House London.
