Trip: Worcester Art Museum to see exhibit: The Floating World: Japanese Prints from the Bancroft Collection

March 2, 2023 @ 1:00 pm

The bus departs at 1:00 pm for a trip to the Worcester Art Museum to see the exhibit: The Floating World: Japanese Prints from the Bancroft Collection. The Floating World focuses specifically on ukiyo-e artworks, a diverse genre of art created throughout Japan’s Edo period (1603-1868). Translating to “pictures of the floating world,” ukiyo-e prints often depict scenes of leisure and arts regularly enjoyed by the working class during an age of great economic growth. These prints tell stories in the form of intricate tableaus portraying courtesans, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, dwellings, and landscapes. Intricate and colorful, ukiyo-e prints center themes like resilience and pride, ideas we celebrate today. Approximate return: 3:00 pm. Fee: $34 for transportation and admission.
