Brown Asian Art Wing from April 20 to July 4. The third season presents prints 17-24 of the 32 prints comprising this famous series that documents the lives of women in 18th-19th century Japan . Prints in the third season feature women in diverse activities such as dining, shopping, and playing music. These prints, which are on special loan from Lenora and Walter F.
