Mount Fuji is the universal symbol of Japan and for the ukiyo-e artist it was an inspiration. Mt Fuji is a spiritual presence in many Hiroshige’s woodblock print and we have selected 26 prints from our collection for this exhibition. The prints depict Mt Fuji in winter snow and summer sun, from the sea and from the land, during various seasons and annual events. They capture the daily life and customs of Edo. Their designs are daring and dramatic yet still evoke the lyrical beauty of the Japanese landscape.

In July 1853, after two and a half centuries of isolation, Commodore Perry’s black ships steamed into Uraga Bay and opened the doors of Japan to the World. By March 1854 two ports were open to Western trade and Japan began the monumental task of modernization. Intoxicated by all that was modern from feathered bonnets and Western trousers to steam locomotives and European architecture ukiyo-e artists designed woodblock prints which chronicled this extraordinary time in history. The Ronin Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of 45 of these exceptionally rare prints.
