‘Tiresome, The Appearance of a Virgin of the Kansei Era,’ 1888, Woodblock print, Polk Museum of Art Permanent Collection 1995.39.1, Gift of Robert Meyer.
While the Museum houses over 2,800 objects, only a small percentage of the collection is on display at any given time. Our Collection in Focus series was created to give an intimate look at the pieces not often featured.
During this Collection in Focus event, Veljko Dujin (M.A., Asian Studies from Florida International University), will dive into the woodblock prints featured in Thirty-Two Aspects of Customs & Manners: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
