Teacher Workshop: The Printer's Eye

Deepen your understanding of Japan’s “floating world” and unpack how representations in art compare with the realities of the Yoshiwara during the late 1600s. Focus on the roles of artist and patron as you explore the Asian Art Museum’s collection of woodblock prints, and visit the exhibitions Seduction: Japan’s Floating World and The Printer’s Eye to draw inspiration for your own print. This program is made possible by generous support from The Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation.
