Funky Taiwan - The History of Ukiyo-e Exhibit at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall - January 2020

            We visited this fantastic collection in January 2020. The History of Ukiyo-e. This exhibit features 146 art pieces from five artists of the ukiyo-e genre, a style of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th to 19th century.

Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Exhibition Hall 1, Taipei | January 18, 2020 through April 19, 2020 

The display in Taiwan will feature a woodblock print series called "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," also known as "The Great Wave," Gotani said.

Created by artist Katsushika Hokusai when he was 72 years old, "The Great Wave" depicts three boats threatened by a large wave, with Mount Fuji dwarfed in the background, and is considered one of the most famous Japanese artworks.

Apart from the series by Hokusai, the exhibition will feature the works of Utagawa Hiroshige, Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai Sharaku, and Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Gotani said.
