"Celebration at the Entrance of the New Yoshiwara (Katsukawa Shunkō II 勝川春好) , TL42391.17,” Harvard Art Museums collections online, Nov 04, 2022, https://hvrd.art/o/340565.
Join us for a journey through the floating world in our newly renovated Japanese painting gallery (gallery 2600).
This gallery talk will reframe the arts of early modern Japan's theater and entertainment districts - cities within cities where the restrictions and rules of daily life could be shed in what has been dubbed the "floating world." These images were some of the first to reach Europe and America, where they were often wildly misunderstood on both the conceptual and material level, with ongoing consequences that have been both productive and corrosive.
