On MAK DAY 2019, the MAK extends an invitation to an exciting journey to East Asia, to the fascinating country of Japan. The focus of the comprehensive exhibition and guided tour program is the newly opened exhibitions KUNIYOSHI + and UKIYOENOW. Kuniyoshi is considered one of the greatest artists of 19th century Japan. Manga and anime could hardly have been created without the visual vocabulary he developed. The importance of colored woodblock printing (ukiyo-e) today is impressively documented by the works of the UKIYO-E-PROJECT artists and the Australian artist Andrew Archer.Admission to the MAK € 5Combinded Ticket MAK + Blickfang 2019 € 15PROGRAM10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. / 1:30–3:00 p.m.Ukiyo-e Printing DemonstrationUkiyo-e—Japanese colored woodblock printing—is an important aspect of Japanese culture.
