Summary: "Japanese ukiuo-e, or woodblock prints, made a tremendous impact on European printers. When ukiyo-e emerged in Japan in the 18th century, practitioners established a unique way of depiciting women, utterly different from the way Europeans were presenting women in the Rococo style that was flourishing at the time. Why this vast disparity? The programme traces the history of Japanese depicitions of women, culminating in ukiyo-e.
