Exhibition Opening: Hokusai, Hiroshige, Hasui: Japanese Landscapes in Print

A new exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints opens at the Vero Beach Museum of Art on Saturday, November 21, and stays up through February 7, 2027. You will find it in the Holmes and Titelman Galleries.

The show puts two 19th century masters, Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, next to the modern prints of Kawase Hasui. Hasui was a leading artist in the shin hanga, or new prints, movement, and Japan named him a Living National Treasure in 1956. Together, the color prints take you on a trip through some of Japan's most evocative places, real and imagined. They also show how the country's art changed as Western tastes arrived in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Hokusai's famous Great Wave is among the featured works. The exhibition was organized with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

This is a good outing for art lovers, history buffs, and anyone who has admired that wave and wants to see the real thing up close.

The museum is at 3001 Riverside Park Drive and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (last admission 4:15 p.m.) and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults, $11 for seniors 65 and up, and $5 for students with ID. It is free for members, children 17 and under, and veterans and active duty military with ID. Parking in Riverside Park is free. Call (772) 231-0707 with questions.
