Boston's Museum of Fine Arts showcases masterful woodblock prints by two rival artists.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston showcases ukiyo-e woodblock prints by renowned artists Utagawa Kunisada (known for realism and portraits of Kabuki actors) and Utagawa Kuniyoshi (whose supernatural designs foreshadowed manga and anime). This exhibition features a selection of 100 works drawn entirely from the MFA’s preeminent Japanese collection, including large, multi-sheet images. Visitors are encouraged to decide for themselves who has prevailed in this artistic rivalry.
