"The Artistry and Reunion of Two Surimono Albums" brings together, for the first time in nearly a century, two rare albums of privately commissioned Japanese woodblock prints from the 1820s and 1830s. Pairing exquisite imagery with playful poetry, these works offer a vivid glimpse into Japan’s vibrant artistic and literary culture, reunited from collections at the RISD Museum and the Chiba City Museum of Art. https://risdmuseum.org/exhibitions-events/exhibitions/artistry-and-reunion-two-surimono-albums
