Description

Japan experienced rapid modernization during the Meiji era (1868–1912) as Western customs and technology were adopted. Despite the growth of photography and lithography, Hashimoto Chikanobu (1838–1912) became a successful artist using the time-honored woodblock print. His subjects, though traditional—palace life, beautiful courtesans—reflect the changing times; for example, many of the court ladies appear in Victorian dress. The twelve images in this calendar chronicle the dynamics of Chikanobu’s Japan.
