PAST ASIA WEEK NEW YORK AUTUMN 2025 EXHIBITION
Hot Summer, Cool Imagery
September 11 – 19, 2025
As fall approaches, we invite you to linger a little longer in summer through our online exhibition, Hot Summer, Cool Imagery. Summer in Japan as seen in the popular imagery of Ukiyo-e is vividly captured in lush garden scenes, fashionable women in sheer fabrics, languid evening strolls in the cool breeze, festive boat rides and firework viewing on the Sumidagawa, and perhaps a chilling ghost story to raise goosebumps before heading for bed long after dark. Our exhibition brings together works depicting the essence of Japanese summertime life, spanning from the Edo through the Taishō–Shōwa periods.
