The Japanese artform of ukiyo-e often elicits images of woodblock prints, but paintings also form part of the genre. A special exhibition at the Sumida Hokusai Museum is titled "The Soul of the Brush", and it explores paintings by 60 different ukiyo-e artists including Iwasa Matabei, Hishikawa Moronobu, Kamaru Kitagawa, Sharaku Toshusai, Hokusai Katsushika, and Kuniyoshi Utagawa.
In total, around 125 paintings will be on display, allowing attendees to explore the history of ukiyo-e through skillful drawings, vivid colors, and the soul of the brush.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1200 yen.
