- Period of the Samurai (Fourteenth to eighteenth centuries)

The prints collection of the Museum of Asiatic Art, one of the richest in Europe, includes representative works of almost all of the artistic currents prevalent from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. The display presents early works by the artists Monorobu and Harunobu of the Moronobu school (seventeenth century) and works by Utamaro, Toyokumi, Hokusai, Kunisada and Hiroshigue (eighteenth to nineteenth centuries).
