The purpose of this exhibition is to explain the meaning and offer a socio-cultural contextualization to the shini-e genre, which became popular in the mid-19th century, based on the shini-e in the UCM Collection.

The complete ukiyo-e collection of the UCM is available in the →ARC Ukiyo-e Portal Database.

Access to the UCM collection for researchers in both Japan and abroad, including metadata and analysis of the artworks, is facilitated through the established link between both institutions.
