Featuring the classic woodblock print The Plum Orchard, 1853, by Japanese ukiyo-e artists Utagawa Hiroshige and Utagawa Kunisada, this exclusive modal shawl is the perfect keepsake to wrap up in from Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World, a breath taking exhibition at the Legion of Honor museum. Lightweight and easy to bundle into a coat, this shawl is perfect for spring or fall. Measures 40 x 76 in.
Featuring selections from the permanent collection of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World documents the shift from delicately colored ukiyo-e of actors, courtesans, and scenic views to brightly colored modern images of Western architecture, technology (railroad trans, steam-powered ships, telegraph lines), Victorian fashion and custom, and modern military warfare.
