I’ve always liked the style of Japanese wood print and I can appreciate why Japonism became highly popular in the West. Utagawa Kuniyoshi, regarded as one of the finest of all Japanese print artists is finally being exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts until June 7, 2009.
Unfortunately for me, as I’m being shipped to Cardiff over the next month I doubt I’ll be able to visit. If you are able to though, it might be worthwhile to look at the lunch and dinner packages offered by Bincho, which would be a great way to compliment the exhibition.
