Oishii Ukiyo-e: The Roots of Japanese Cuisine

“Ukiyo-e” including the depictions, often included “Japanese cuisine,” have been highly praised not only for its rare beauty but its ability to capture and convey the people’s lives of the EDO period in profound detail. In response to the recent addition of “Japanese Cuisines” to the intangible cultural heritage list, an original exhibition, Oishii Ukiyo-e will be open to the public on July 15, 2020. Visitors of the exhibit will be invited to a journey that captures the very essence of the EDO period through visuals, recipes, and actual representations of the techniques that existed during the time.
