Hokusai and His Students

The first US museum exhibition of Japanese art with a published catalogue was the MFA’s “Hokusai and His School,” on view between 1892 and ’93. More than 130 years later, the Museum continues to expand and study its large collection of paintings, drawings, woodblock prints, and printed books by this important group of artists. Take an inside look at a sample of the cutting-edge research on Hokusai and his students, including his talented daughter Ōi, and see works of art that have never before been published or exhibited.

I heard several American curators who are experts in Japanese arts referred to the Ukiyo-e, the Japanese painting and woodblock in Edo period, as “Floating World”. This is not an accurate translation. In Japanese, “Ukiyo” (浮世）means “Floating world “ and “e” （绘） means “Painting”. So the accurate translation of “Ukiyo-e” （浮世绘） is “Paintings of the Floating world”. They must have studied Japanese really well, I don’t understand why they made such a mistake.
