Ukiyo-e — meaning “pictures of the floating world” — were colourful woodblock prints that captured scenes of travel, nature and popular culture during a time of peace and creativity in Japan’s history. From towering waves and rushing waterfalls to quiet roads and distant mountains, these works reveal moments of beauty, drama and movement that still feel strikingly modern today.At the heart of the exhibition is Under the Wave off Kanagawa — widely known as The Great Wave — one of the most recognisable images in the world. More than a masterpiece of Japanese art, it’s become a global icon, continuing to influence fashion, design, film and popular culture across the world.Alongside this celebrated image, the exhibition explores the wider world of ukiyo-e, tracing stories of artistic ambition and innovation against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Edo Japan.Beneath the Great Wave: Hokusai and Hiroshige | Whitworth Art Gallery📅Tuesday 14 April 2026⏰2pm - 2:45pm📍the Whitworth🎟️ Book your free tickets nowAbout the venueThe Whitworth is a venue with level access throughout, and facilities to support you during your visit.
