Glasgow Museums holds a fine collection of Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, including works by the celebrated artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The collection reflects the extraordinary skill of Japanese colour printing, with subjects ranging from atmospheric landscapes and seasonal scenes to birds, flowers and everyday life.
With their distinctive compositions, beautiful colour and strong graphic qualities, these historic prints have considerable potential for cards, stationery, wall art, textiles and other decorative products. This is just a selection of the work available in this genre.
