Moon: Woodblock Prints by Hokusai, Hiroshige and Other Artists

This luminous boxed set of woodblock prints celebrates the seductive power of the moon in the Edo period of Japanese art. In Japanese printmaking, the moon appears as a quiet yet powerful presence, shaping atmosphere, marking time, and infusing scenes with emotion and narrative tension. These volumes bring together evocative nocturnal works by beloved artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and Kawase Hasui, revealing how a single motif can generate remarkably varied moods-from stillness and contemplation to drama and unease-across different periods and artistic approaches.
