The "Gendai-ni Tsutawaru Hangi" Exhibition
The “Gendai-ni Tsutawaru Hangi” (printing blocks from past to present) Exhibition
 |  (  PDF: 4.2MB) |
In order to share information on hangi (printing blocks) as part of the joint research by the Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures under the MEXT Global COE Program (Ritsumeikan University) Japanese Culture Research Group and Professor Kazuaki Nagai from the Faculty of Letters at Nara University, we have been building a digital archive of about 5,000 hangi kept at Nara University and made the archive available for access. In addition, these hangi were exhibited at the “Kinsei Hangi” (printing blocks of the modern period) exhibition (February to March 2009), and we have continued questioning what hangi are and what we can find out from hangi.
The current exhibition is the sequel of the “Kinsei Hangi” exhibition. By continuing the questioning from the last exhibition, the exhibition will showcase an expanded number of collections researched by the Japanese Culture Research Group. While many hangi have been lost over the years until today, many others that can contribute to the study of Japanese culture in terms of quality and quantity have also been preserved until today through the efforts by the many involved in the preservation of hangi. It is our sincere hope that hangi as a research material can become exposed so that more people can learn about existing hangi through this exhibition.
In addition, this exhibition will also showcase the hangi once collected by surishi (woodblock printer) Shinjiro Takahashi and which have become part of the Art Research Center collection this year.
