  • Description

    From luxury paintings of the pleasure quarters to Hokusai’s iconic “Red Fugi,” “Designed for Pleasure” presents a focused examination of the period’s fascinating networks of art, literature, and fashion, proving that the artists and the publishers and patrons who engaged them not only mirrored the tastes of their energetic times, they created a unifying cultural legacy.Edo (modern Tokyo) grew from a swampy outpost into a metropolis after the Tokugawa shogunate established it as their seat of government in 1603. Some artists gave up designing prints in favour of painting once their reputations were established.”Designed for Pleasure” attempts to remedy the long-held practice of ignoring the paintings that were made to order for the elite market and art prints that were either directly commissioned or designed to appeal to this same group, which largely consisted of samurai officials and retainers.
