The Japan Society in NYC currently has an excellent exhibition of Japanese woodblock prints entitled 'Edo Pop: The Graphic Impact of Japanese Prints'. More details on the exhibition can be found here: http://japansociety.org/event/edo-pop-the-graphic-impact-of-japanese-prints

My name is John Resig and Japanese woodblock printing has been an area of study of mine over the past 5 years, I've become completely taken with the beautiful art form - even going so as to create the definitive resource to woodblock prints online: http://ukiyo-e.org/

I want to share my passion with you! Expose you to the world of the exploding Edo period in Japan, when Tokyo (then 'Edo') was the one of the largest cities in the world, kabuki actors were wildly popular, people looked to beautiful courtesans for fashion tips, and samurai ruled. All of this is communicated through the fantastic medium of woodblock printing.

I'll be doing a number of free guided tours of the exhibition at Japan Society, based upon demand. (Note: This is not affiliated with Japan Society, it's a completely independent pursuit.) If you're interested please fill out this form and if you have any questions please email me at jeresig@gmail.com or ping me on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/jeresig


NOTE: All tours are completely full - please use this form to join the waitlist and I'll let you know if any slots open up!
