TACOMA; WA.- Tacoma Art Museum is sharing one of Japan’s most popular art forms with the Northwest in their new exhibition Edo to Tacoma: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection, which runs September 4, 2010 through February 13, 2011 (the exhibition will be closed the week of November 15 for gallery rotation). Long-considered one of Japan’s most popular art forms, this two-part exhibition showcases more than 140 Japanese woodblocks in Tacoma Art Museum’s permanent collection. Edo to Tacoma will present the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints from the museum collection to date. To highlight the breadth of the collection as the museum celebrates its 75th anniversary with the community and to preserve the artworks from light exposure, Edo to Tacoma will be comprised of two rotations—each approximately eight weeks long, and each containing prints from the late 17th
