Prints

Our print collection numbering around 5,800 pieces comprises an impressive selection of work from Japanese artists involved with the creative printing movement in the 1930s such as Yasunori Taninaka and Yoshio Fujimaki, key post-war printers such as Shiko Munakata, Chimei Hamada and Yozo Hamaguchi, and contemporary printmakers like Hitoshi Karasawa. As far as overseas artists go, we have works by Francisco Goya and Max Klinger, a number Chinese woodblock prints, and artists principally known for their painting and sculpture works including Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall.
