JASA is pleased to announce a one-day excursion to Los Angeles to see an important Japanese print exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and two fascinating Japanese photography shows at the Getty Center.

In the afternoon, we will visit LACMA, where Japanese art curator Hollis Goodall will take us through "Living for the Moment: Japanese Prints from the Barbara S. Bowman Collection." Over 100 prints are featured in this exhibition of transformative promised gifts of Japanese works to LACMA. Included are examples of rare earlyukiyo-e prints; superior works from the golden age of that art form at the end of the 18th century by Suzuki Harunobu, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Katsukawa Shunsh; and 19th-century prints by such great masters as Utagawa Hiroshige, Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, and others.
