Nostalgic Femininity: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the St. Catherine University Archives & Special Collections

Drawing from items in the University’s Archives & Special Collections, this exhibition explores the relationship between nostalgia and gender in Japanese woodblock prints of the late nineteenth century. The show features various prints by Meiji-period artist Yōshū Chikanobu alongside select examples by Miyagawa Shuntei, Utagawa Kunisada I, Mizuno Toshikata, and Toyohara Kunichika. It will open alongside a complementary library exhibition and digital supplement.
