Courtesy of JTI and the Embassy of Japan, Japan Society members are invited to an exclusive Kuniyoshi breakfast at the Royal Academy of Arts.
This is the first major exhibition in the United Kingdom on Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861) since 1961. Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition presents Kuniyoshi as a master of imaginative design.
It reveals the graphic power and beauty of his prints across an unprecedented range of subjects highlighting his ingenious use of the triptych format.
The majority of the exhibition has been drawn from the outstanding collection of Professor Arthur R. Miller which has recently been donated to the American Friends of the British Museum.
