This exhibit recounts how large-scale, densely composed pictorial tattoos emerged in 19th-century Japan in tandem with woodblock prints depicting tattooed heroes of history and myth. More than 60 superb prints from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston explore the interplay between ink on paper and ink on skin.
Following the tour, you are invited to join the group for coffee/lunch at the museum cafe. Coffee and lunch will begin at approximately 11:30am. Afterwards, you may re-visit the exhibits on your own.
This event is a joint event of the Harvard and Radcliffe Clubs of SF. It is open to members of the clubs and their guests.
