The exhibition will run from April 22 to June 15.

The works of artists such as Toshusai Sharaku, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Katsushika Hokusai are characterized by their intricate carvings and vivid colors, and their outstanding techniques have been passed down to the present day and continue to fascinate many people. In this exhibition, a total of 85 artists influenced by the expression of traditional woodblock prints will work as contemporary artists with the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodblock Prints to create new "contemporary ukiyo-e."
