The Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg has collected about 5,000 wood-block printings since its establishment in 1887. They include the works by Utamaro, Sharaku, Hokusai and other famous ukiyo-e artists.
“Surimono” the prints for a personal gift and some materials such as the pictures for printing, the wood blocks etc. are also being exhibited this time.
This would be a good opportunity to get to know the world of ukiyo-e deeply.
