The Portland Art Museum (PAM) in Portland, Oregon recently exhibited Japanese Landscape Prints selected from PAM’s permanent collection. According to PAM:
“…this exhibition explores Japan’s journey with and through nature during the 19th century and into the modern age through the lens of landscape prints, revealing the at once reverential and playful spirit in which people held the trees, mountains, and rivers around them."
Shown below are some of the works by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858).
