Why You Can Now Enjoy Private Ukiyo-e Talks in Tokyo from an Expert Who Lectured at the British Museum
Why You Can Now Enjoy Private Ukiyo-e Talks in Tokyo from an Expert Who Lectured at the British Museum During your ukiyo-e printmaking experience at Takahashi Studio, you can learn about the ukiyo-e production process and art appreciation techniques from Ms. Yukiko Takahashi, the studio’s president. I was deeply moved by her explanation during a previous visit. Her insights are incredibly valuable for ukiyo-e enthusiasts. She is a recognized expert who has lectured and demonstrated ukiyo-e at prestigious institutions worldwide, including the British Museum and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. Such specialized commentary, typically aimed at art professionals, is a rare opportunity for travelers. Ms. Takahashi is also featured on the official website of the British Museum as the ukiyo-e publisher/printer, a place where not many individuals get highlighted. Don’t miss the opportunity to have a private ukiyo-e explanation session with her. Additionally, a video of Ms. Takahashi giving an ukiyo-e lecture to people in the Baltic states, organized by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is available on YouTube. Please take a look. Takahashi Studio is an Edo-period woodblock print studio established about 160 years ago. Initially, it was a printer, but later, it also became a publisher.
