The 1940s and 1950s were a pivotal time for Japan’s creative print movement, known as sōsaku hanga.
Just after World War II, artists who had primarily trained in oil painting turned to woodblock prints to portray the people around them, using the medium’s power and immediacy to capture a disappearing traditional world.
This exhibition features the work of four sōsaku hanga artists: Onchi Kōshirō (1891–1955) and his followers Sekino Jun’ichirō (1914–1988), Saitō Kiyoshi (1907–1997), and Kitaoka Fumio (1918–2007). Onchi was the movement’s main advocate, and his name is synonymous with the group. From 1939, sōsaku hanga artists met at his home on the first Thursday of every month, where they received the encouragement they needed to flourish.

It is located on the shore of Lake Michigan. It looks beautiful from the outside and the layout inside is also very unique. Be sure to check the map and schedule when entering the aquarium. There are different activities, performances and movies at different times. There are some marine animals that are not available in domestic aquariums. Animal highlight Don&#39;t miss it. The dolphins are so cute. And the glass wall is so beautiful. The 4D movie is also good. Remember to use the pass for high cost performance.
