This landmark exhibition celebrates the work of Utagawa Hiroshige, one of Japan’s most celebrated artists, whose prints captured the beauty of a country on the brink of transformation.
Visitors are welcomed with a parallax animation created by Little Shadow that brings Hiroshige’s imagery to life. Layers of landscapes, figures, and nature shift and move in a cut-up motion, immersing viewers in his imagined world. At the end of the exhibition, a second animation traces the echoes of his style, showing how his vision continues to resonate in art today.
