Visions of the Land in Edo Japan
Through Monday, January 13, 2025
2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia

There’s still time to catch Visions of the Land in Edo Japan at the Philadelphia Museum of Art before it closes on January 13!

Pictorial representations of the land blossomed in Japan during the Edo period (1615–1868), an era of peace and prosperity. Landscape painters and printmakers created a large number of works with new ideas and techniques that had recently become available. Featuring recent acquisitions and choice examples from museum’s collection, this exhibition invites you to explore the three modes of landscape presented—poetic, iconic, and panoramic. Together, these visions of the land manifest the dynamism of Edo Japan.
