2 pieces from The Trout Gallery of Dickinson College’s “Memory and Modernity: Modern Japanese Woodblock Prints of the Natural World” show (2023):
1 Ito Sözan (1884-19??)
Family of Chickens, c.1910s
2 Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
Katsushika shinso gafu, Vol. 1, 1890

Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese. 1760-1849) Album of Original Drawings by Katsushika (Katsushika shinso gafu), vol. 1, 1890 Woodblock-printed book, ink and color on paper Museum purchase with funds from the Friends of the Trout Gallery 2022.13 Though known for his single-sheet landscape designs, Hokusai also created numerous illustrated books. This one, published posthumously in the Meiji period (1868-1912), also contains a table of content in English. It indicates that the book might be intended for display at World Expositions. In the 1880s and 1890s, the japanese government promoted the development of traditional arts in order to create a robust export market with the West. Illustrated books such as this one gave potential Western consumers a variety of designs for individual prints and other commodities. Images such as Ito Sozan's Family of Chickens in this exhibition were likely adapted from such illustrated books that served as design templates for print designers.
