  • Escape to a tantalizing afternoon of beauty and pleasure found within the MFA's world-renowned collection of color woodblock prints. This urban dream of a "floating world," far away from responsibility and cares, featured such subjects as celebrity actors, courtesans, and dream-like landscapes.

    Modern art was definitely not started in Paris. You can see most of impressionism, post impressionism and even most of modern art by seeing these Japanese artists. It all makes sense, since France forced Japan to trade with them. These guys are at least 100 years ahead .

    ありがとうございます。
    It was a wonderful lecture. Not to mention knowledge, Sharp thoughts about the life of Yoshiwara specially the women working there and customer. That explaination was easy to understand.
    You talking the battle and ghost prints was so much fun. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it.

    I have an early facsimile of the Tokaido Road series purchased in Japan in the 1920s that is intact in the original fan fold binding that shows the prints in their proper sequence. I always wondered if a museum or collector would value the book as it shows how the series was first presented to the buyer of that series.

    I liked seeing these, I would love to see more. I have some old Japanese hand painted scenes and in the course of my always traveling, moving, there are some small tears. Anyone know if there is special tape to put on the back,to keep them from being destroyed. Any ideas? Is there Museum tape? thanks

      @katyayurasovskaya1078 8 месяцев назад +1

      I would encourage you to go by a museum who might recommend a professional restorer. A professional would best be able to judge the age and the value of the print, and fix it in the least intrusive way.

      It's utterly silly to think that children will be harmed in some way by such material, especially in such an academic context, but I suppose the museum has to cover their butts and make sure not to offend any puritanical ninnies who might make trouble for them.

    • @user-oq5yr1kp1d
      @user-oq5yr1kp1d 3 года назад +7

      as a japanese, yes l do think shunga春画 is an important part. Because that proofs ukiyoe was a casual entertainment for all the class , high class , young guys..etc.
      Not just porn, ukiyoe has other categories like “Horror”. Ghosts & beasts.scary stuff. Even theres a “gore” category. Also a super hero category just like marvel or DC comics.Theres a comedy type also.
      Teaching to the kids might need some censoring by adults , choose some soft ones.But I think we shouldnt hide it from children. That depends on the sense of teachers. l’ll bet kids will be fascinated to see a classic warrior type of art.
      By the way, I live in Tokyo, Witch was called EDO until 1868. Thats only 150years ago. We see places or names it hasnt change all over tokyo.
      I have met my 110year old Great-grand father when l was 6years old.
      I was too little to ask lots of things.
      I regret that. perhaps his great-grand father was living in the middle of Ukiyoe Era. Its not that far back.
      That makes me fascinated watching these things.
      So all the Ukiyoe culture is important for me

    Very interesting video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!

    "17 hundreds" instead of 18th Century. Is this person an academic? Apparently so, this is how dumb academic standards are in the US now. I just can't take any art historian who says something hundreds instead of the century seriously. They're older than me, yet has never bothered to know how to conjugate centuries properly, which was more important when she was younger, but maybe not in America.
