Osaka, Japan｜Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum Tickets and Ukiyoe Woodblock Printmaking Experience

- Project Introduction -

【Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum】

• The Ukiyo-e Museum is located in the Dotonbori area of ​​Osaka, which once flourished as a theater town. The museum displays portraits of kabuki actors active in the area, as well as ukiyo-e paintings made using gold, silver, and copper powder. You can slowly appreciate the differences between Kamikawa Ukiyo-e and Edo Ukiyo-e, and gain a deeper understanding of the exquisite works of Ukiyo-e. Experience traditional Japanese art and history and appreciate the unique beauty that is different from Edo Ukiyo-e.

【Ukiyoe woodblock print making experience (ticket fee at own expense)】

• Enjoy a traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e painting experience. This activity offers three courses: beginner, intermediate and advanced. You can create your own Ukiyo-e under the guidance of craftsmen. The event will use exclusive woodblocks provided by the Ukiyo-e Museum, printed in 3 to 4 colors on high-quality Japanese paper. Even if it is your first time, you can create unique and beautiful effects by applying paint, rubbing the paintbrush, and applying pressure, and experience the importance of "printing" in the Ukiyo-e painting process. Once you have finished your work, you can put it in your original folder and take it home.
