Mie Gallery - Original Japanese Prints
United States
Приєднався 27 жов 2019
Mie Gallery curates and sells original Japanese woodblock prints. We acquire prints from a variety of sources. Our favorite artists are: Hiroshige, Kunichika, Yoshitoshi, Hokusai, Kuniyoshi, Kunisada, Kyosai, and others. It's amazing that for not much money, one can purchase an original print, by an Ukiyo-e master, that has survived multiple wars, fires, floods, and generations of owners. On this UA-cam channel we have several original video series, ranging from our "Japanese Woodblock Artists" series, to the "Unboxing Japanese Prints" series, where we open boxes of prints for the first time. It's always exciting to see the prints in person. We also add interesting information and backstory on the subject of the print and artist. Our goal is to introduce woodblock print artists, series, and individual prints to people who are already interested in Ukiyo-e and beginning collectors. If you want to contact us directly please email Richard at info@miegallery.com. Happy Collecting!
Frist Art Museum - Woodblock Prints
I visited the Frist Art Museum in Nashville, Tennessee to see an exhibit called "Journey Through Japan, Myths to Manga". The theme of the exhibit was an exploration of popular stories and how they’ve shaped Japan's art, design and technology across the centuries. I was most interested in the woodblock prints on loan from The Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Join me for a review of the Hiroshige, Kunisada, Kyosai and Hokusai prints they had on display. Don't forget that we have prints by these artists for sale at www.miegallery.com. #Fristmuseum #artmuseum #tennessee #woodblockprint #japaneseart
