Japanese Block Prints Translated With Threads
Wednesday, March 02, 2011
Among the various engaging exhibitions at the MFA in Boston this year,
Flowers and Festivals:
Four Seasons in Japanese Prints is a delightful experience.
January 22, 2011 - August 28, 2011
"Love of nature and awareness of the changing seasons, longstanding
motifs in the literary and visual arts of Japan, often appear in the
ukiyo-e woodblock prints that chronicle the life of the urban middle
class during the Edo period (1615-1867). As Japan gradually developed
the characteristics of an early modern society (just as Europe was doing
at around the same time), gardening became a pleasure not merely
limited to the aristocracy but enjoyed by commoners as well. Citizens of
Edo (modern Tokyo) could raise potted plants and miniature gardens at
home, and visit public gardens and commercial nurseries. Throughout the
year, holidays were celebrated with floral decorations and traditional
customs that have been handed down to the present day."
