The Tacoma Art Museums Japanese woodblock print collection consists
of about 350 prints and provides a general survey of the Japanese
woodblock print history dating from 1600s to mid-1800s. This collection is
the second largest in the Northwest and was donated to the Museum
between 1964 and 1984.
In Style features a selection of fifty Japanese
woodblock prints dating from the 18th and 19th Centuries and are
grouped into themes: Actors and Popular Theater, Courtesans and the
Licensed Quarter, Heroes of History and Legend, Subjects from
Literature, and Views of Nature and Famous Sites. The collection is
largely the gift of a single collector, Mrs. Constance R. Lyon. Curated by
Bill Rathbun.
