Thematic Exhibition HITO: Human Faces and Figures in Ukiyo-e

Two of the central genres of Ukiyo-e were pictures of beautiful women (bijin-ga) and pictures of actors (yakusha-e). In these images, the human figure became the point of greatest interest, overshadowing even motifs of the natural world. This exhibition presents the many aspects of the human figure as portrayed in Ukiyo-e, including who they depicted, how they were depicted, and more.
