Japan auf Papier in Dresden.
Each work was the product of a collaboration between artists, woodcarvers, printers and publishers. Depending on the print run and the client, these woodcuts could either become prized collector's objects or affordable prints for the general public.
For almost 300 years, the Kupferstich-Kabinett has assembled one of Germany's most significant – and yet least known – collections of Japanese art on paper. In collaboration with research partners from Japan and Switzerland, its history has been documented, and the works have been digitised and restored. The
exhibition presents a selection from this collection of over 10,000 objects, many displayed publicly for the first time.
