Woodblock Printing techniques were introduced to Japan from China as early as the 8th century. They were used to create multiple Buddhist texts. By the 16th century woodblock printed books of secular stories with illustrations began to appear and in the 17th century single sheet images were made and they were known as Ukiyo-e, literally pictures of the floating world. Dr Meri Arichi's lecture gives an overview of this fascinating subject.
Dr Meri Arichi studied Art History in London and Florence, and worked at Christie’s in Kings Street, London, from 1989 to 1993. She returned to university to study Asian Art at School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London in 1993, and completed a Post-graduate Diploma in Asian Art (1994), MA (1996) in History of East Asian Art, and PhD (2003) for her thesis on Shinto-Buddhist syncretic Art. She has been teaching History of Japanese Art in the Department of History of Art and Archaeology at SOAS as a Teaching Fellow since 2007.
