Ukiyo-e New Year’s Exhibition

Getting into the seasonal spirit, the Ota Memorial Museum of Art is welcoming the arrival of 2013 with an exhibition of New Year-themed ukiyo-e prints. The works on display include depictions of popular Edo-era New Year rituals and pastimes, though the highlight is the lively 'Treasure Ship', a depiction of the seven gods of fortune that was created in collaboration between artists Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Kunisada and Keisai Eisen.
