The “Hokusai & Ukiyo-e: The Floating World” exhibition authentically brings 17th-century Japan to life through meticulously crafted recreations, immersive experiences, hands-on activities, and historical exhibits. Visitors will be transported to a time when Edo (now Tokyo) flourished under shogunate rule as Japan’s cultural and economic heart, embracing the arts, nature, and leisurely pursuits.
The multi-faceted experience centers around the world- class presentation of a 70-piece collection making
its U.S. debut, featured as “Museum Galleries – Chiossone Collection” in the exhibition. The collection features 53 paintings and woodblock prints by the masters of ukiyo-e, including original works by Hokusai, Hiroshige, and their contemporaries, and 17 handcrafted objects. RSVP with the Concierge by Thursday, June 19. Tickets are $12 each, and we have 13 available.
