Before Anime, There was Ukiyo-e!
Learn about the history of Japanese woodblock prints, or ukiyo-e, and make your own artwork at the Kellogg Environmental Center on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 11:30AM to 1:00PM. After the workshop, visit the Osborne Homestead Museum and view its collection of Japanese woodblock prints and Asian-inspired art.
Ukiyo-e means “floating world” and represents the shortness of life. They depict scenes of natural landscapes, urban and rural life in Japan, beautiful women, famous actors, and more. This event will pay homage to a unique Japanese art form and Frances Osborne Kellogg’s collection of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The workshop is appropriate for all ages. All materials will be provided at no cost.
