Book + Art | “An Artist of the Floating World” by Kauo Ishiguro and That’s Entertainment, Japanese Prints and the Art of Leisure

Saturday, May 9, 2 – 3:30 PM

In post World War II Japan, an artist, Masuji Ono struggles through the aftermath of war, his memories of his youth and of the “floating world”, and of his remorse about his role producing propaganda in the service of the imperialist movement that led Japan into World War II. This personal history explores the choices that make him both a hero and a coward in the face of society, but also a human being.

Read the book and join the discussion and a gallery tour led by Norton Museum staff. Ebooks and e-audiobooks available on the cloudLibrary app.

This is a FREE program.

Space is limited to ensure time in the galleries; online registration required. Walk-ins welcome if tickets remain on the day of the program.
