AIRMW at Cleve Carney Museum of Art

From the organizers about the event: Join us for a celebratory festival filled with traditional Japanese entertainment from the Japanese Culture Center. Throughout the day, enjoy cultural activities, Japanese food vendors, ikebana flower arrangement demonstrations by the Ohara School of Ikebana, and a variety of hands-on workshops, including woodblock printmaking, origami and shodō calligraphy.

About the exhibition: The “Hokusai & Ukiyo-e: The Floating World” exhibition authentically brings 17th-century Japan to life through meticulously crafted recreations, immersive experiences, hands-on activities and historical exhibits. Visitors will be transported to a time when the city of Edo (now Tokyo) flourished under shogunate rule as the cultural and economic heart of Japan, embracing the arts, nature and leisurely pursuits. The multi-faceted experience centers around the world-class presentation of a 70-piece collection making its U.S. debut, featured as “Museum Galleries – Chiossone Collection” in the exhibition. The collection features 53 paintings and woodblock prints by the masters of ukiyo-e, including original works by Hokusai, Hiroshige and their contemporaries, and 17 handcrafted objects.
