Experience the authenticity of Adachi's woodcut prints
Showroom (TOKYO)
October 21, 2025～November 22, 2025
Special Exhibition “Utamaro and Sharaku in Mica Light” and “The Work of Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints: From Ukiyo-e Reproductions to Contemporary Art”
Starting Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints —the present-day hanmoto with its own carvers and printers— presents a mini special exhibition titled “Utamaro and Sharaku in Mica Light” at its Tokyo gallery, held jointly with the Adachi Foundation for the Preservation of Woodcut Printing and Adachi also provides filming support for the NHK drama. The exhibition explores the creativity and ingenuity behind Utamaro and Sharaku’s Ukiyo-e prints from the perspective of printmaking.
Please Take a Close Look at the Actual Prints
The greatest appeal of woodcut prints created using traditional Japanese printing techniques is the brilliant colors. Woodcut prints from the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints are made by master artisans using washi paper and water-based pigments with the methods passed on from the Edo Period. At our showroom in Mejiro, located 10 minutes from the JR Mejiro Station, visitors can experience the allure of such woodcut prints.
The Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints has created reproductions of some 1,200 works of ukiyo-e to date, as well as contemporary woodcut prints produced in collaboration with today's leading artists. Such works are exhibited and sold at our showroom. In addition, there is a permanent display demonstrating the production process of woodcut prints. Our staff plan and prepare special seasonal exhibits for our visitors to enjoy and look forward to welcoming you at our showroom.
