Reading the words in Ukiyo-e

Some Ukiyo-e pieces have text that explain the character and history of a figure, back story, as well as theorigin of a location/famous sight as with a picture book. There are also pieces that are sponsored by Kyōka-ren(a group of Kyōka fans) and hence have Kyōka (comic tanka), which were created by participants of the group,in the piece. This exhibition will introduce pieces while focusing on the text inside Ukiyo-e. Please enjoy
Ukiyo-e not only by looking at the pictures, but also by learning the lives of Edo people through reading thewords.
