Animal Expressions: Homage to our Greatest Companions

12:00 pm–6:00 pm

Selected original Japanese woodcut prints by artists including Hiroshige I, Yoshitoshi, Kiyoshi Saito, Nagayama and the Yoshidas.

Art has always depicted mankind's unique and intimate relationship with nature. Whether by its role as the warrior's loyal steed, their docile and comforting presence by the hearth, or through stories told of mythical, mysterious folklore passed down through the ages, animals prove to be inseparable from the human experience. Through art we honor this bond.
