Masterpieces of Japanese Art in Polish Collections
Masterpieces of Japanese Art in Polish Collections, the exhibition marking the twentieth anniversary of the Manggha Museum, is a presentation of old Japanese art, primarily from the Edo period (1603–1868), and also – in some examples – the Meiji era (1868–1912): ukiyo-e woodblock prints, paintings, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, bronze wares, lacquerware, and militaria. The exhibition is an opportunity to see some of the iconic images of Japanese art which radically changed the art of the West, such as Hokusai’s prints, including his famous work Under a Great Wave off Kanagawa.
