Floating Worlds: Prints from Osaka & Kyoto

Art Gallery of South Australia

Opening in January 2027, Floating Worlds: Prints from Osaka & Kyoto explores the pleasure, fashion and cultural life that flourished in Japan's Kamigata region during the Edo period (1603–1868). Inspired by the vibrant urban entertainment districts known as the ukiyo, or 'floating world', artists created images that captured the style and culture of the era. Featuring actors of the Kabuki theatre, samurai warriors, ghosts, beauties and landscapes, Floating Worlds traces a dynamic tradition of woodblock printmaking born from a prosperous era of artistry. Created between c.1790 and c.1900, these works are collectively known as kamigata ukiyo-e, 'pictures (e) of the floating world (ukiyo)'. The popularity of Kabuki theatre fuelled the creation of woodblock prints that celebrated actors and cultural trends. Featuring never-before-seen AGSA acquisitions alongside paintings, kimonos and samurai armour, the exhibition reveals an artistic world which celebrated theatre, beauty, fashion and entertainment; offering a glimpse into Japan's renowned 'floating world'.
