Toyohara (Yoshu) Chikanobu was one of the last great ukiyo-e print designers. He produced images of the kabuki stage, beautiful women, and historical and legendary events, and also illustrated murders and other sensational news of the day and chronicled the modernization of Japanese society in the late 19th century. The exhibition at Morikami presents 60 single-sheet and triptych prints from this prolific artist on a variety of subjects.
