Japanese prints comprise one of the special collections of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Numbering more than 3,000 works, the majority are color woodcuts made during the “golden age” of ukiyo-e printmaking from the late 18th century through the end of the 19th century. The collection also contains a comprehensive overview of Japanese prints of the first half of the twentieth century of the s?saku hanga or “creative print” movement. A sizable number of prints by some of the most recognized artists of this era—such as Harunobu, Utamaro, Hokusai, and Hiroshige—came as donations to the Museums from Carlotta Mabury and Katherine Ball when they were forming collections during the early years of the 20th century.
All profits from the Japanese print cube will go to the American Red Cross.
