Exhibit: Navigating Censorship at the End of an Era: 1840s Japanese Prints from the UA Museum

• Displayed in this exhibition is a small selection of the most colorful and active prints – mostly triptychs of three separate printed panels – from the university’s album. Many of the scenes combine elements of drama, satire, fashion and political commentary. Some contain hidden messages, and some even caused the arrest of their artists.
