Curated by Matthew Mizenko, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Modern Languages at Ursinus College, and Frank L. Chance, Associate Director, Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, this installation features a selection of images from a collection of more than 300 modern Japanese woodcut, etching, and silkscreen prints. The works are gifts to the permanent collection by Muriel and Philip Berman and Dr. and Mrs. Leo Corazza. The Bermans actively collected prints in their travels to Japan. Dr. Corazza, Class of 1945, acquired his works through service in the military in the Far East and through a long association with The Red Lantern Shop. A major exhibition of these works, funded by a grant from the Freeman Foundation, was mounted in 2005 and was accompanied by a scholarly catalogue, which is available for purchase.

Camp, Visiting Professor of Art at Ursinus, William Earle Williams, Professor of Fine Arts at Haverford College, donated 12 images that cover the breadth of photographic processes.
