Snow in Winter: Ukiyo-e and Contemporary Prints from Japan

Snow in Winter comprises ukiyo-e – including Snowy Morning at Koishikawa by Hokusai and Kinryuzan Temple, Asakusa by Hiroshige – and contemporary prints by Sarah Brayer, Brian Williams and Karen Young, who have all been living in Kyoto, Japan, for over twenty years. 

An illustrated talk, The Colour White in Japanese Prints, was given by Mr Timothy Clark at the exhibition private view. 

The exhibition was organised in association with Japanese Gallery and Hanga Ten.
