This exhibit will display ukiyo-e prints of famous landscapes and guide maps from the Taisho era (1912 – 1926) onward in the style of bird’s eye views. Ukiyo-e paintings were often depicted from a lofty viewpoint, and bird’s eye view paintings depicted the landscape from an even higher vantage. In this exhibit we will introduce the ukiyo-e that utilize a bird’s eye view, as well as the artists from around the Taisho era that created bird’s eye view paintings used in guide maps such as Yoshida Hatsusaburo. Through their work, this exhibit will show the changes in paintings of landscapes and guide maps from the Edo period to the Showa period.
