Experience Edo-period Japan (1615–1868) through archival maps, prints, and paintings of the capital and surrounding provinces. This exhibition explores the shift that came with Japan's unification at the start of the period in how the ruling shogunate and commercial enterprises visualized and presented early modern Japan. Included on view are selections from Utagawa Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series, maps of provincial castles, and images of famously beautiful places and venerable historical sites. Approximately 20 works on display.
