The prints’ portability and availability made them some of the earliest pieces of art to enter into the Western souvenir trade, and their impact became global. Mining Evergreen Museum & Library’s robust but rarely seen collection of Japanese prints, JHU Museums Curator of Collections Michelle Fitzgerald will highlight the artistry and reception of ukiyo-e, as well as their impact on both Western and Japanese artists into the 20th century.
