Description

They lived for the moment: beautiful geisha, flamboyant actors, seductive courtesans. Meet the denizens of the "Floating World" -- the theater and pleasure quarters of Japan's Edo period. Paintings by masters such as Hokusai and Hiroshige captured their lives in vivid detail. Now, for the first time in more than 100 years, view 80 of these rare exquisite paintings from the unrivaled collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Mingle with sensuous beauties in an intimate world of sumptuous colors and stylish surroundings.
