The high point of Japanese ukiyo-e or woodblock prints occurred  during the last part of the eighteenth and the first years of the nineteenth century. Beautiful women, Kabuki actors, and panoramic landscapes showing a new taste for travel were the subjects. The master printmakers included Utamaro, Hokusai, and Hiroshige.  Their graphic works also had a significant influence on many French Impressionists and on modern audiences.

Marcie F. Slepian has an A.B. from Brown University and a Ph.D. from Yale University in the History of Art.  She has lectured for the Shoreline Village and the Library for the past 10 years. Printmaking is one of her special interests.
