Picturing the Floating World: Japanese Art and the Makings of Popular Culture
Campus Gallery

About:
Luminous lacquered cases, vibrantly colored prints, and intricately carved ivories reflect the inventive and yet subversive tastes of the rising urban class in early modern Japan. This exhibition, curated in partnership with students in Spring 2023 Bucknell courses, “Arts of East Asia” and “Hokusai & the Global Art of Edo,” explores the radically transformative power of popular culture both in the past and in our present worlds.
