In the Edo period, printing houses known as hanmoto produced ukiyo-e, handling everything from planning and printing to sale. This special exhibition puts the spotlight on these hanmoto. The Exhibition Hall features hanmoto such as Tsutaya Juzaburo, who discovered Utamaro and Sharaku, and others who worked with Hiroshige’s works. It will also present features unique to woodblock prints and the ways hanmoto ingeniously modified images as seen in the prints themselves.
