Front Cover: Kobikichō arayashiki koiseya ochie (Ochie of the Ko-ise-ya of the Arayashiki in Kobikichō). Woodcut by Kitagawa Utamaro, Japan, ca. 1780-1789. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, LC-DIG-jpd-02053.

Back Cover: Hikeyotsu no yoru no ame (Night rain at 10 pm). Woodcut by Kikukawa Eizan, Japan, ca. 1818-1820. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, LC-DIG-ppmsca-18405.

These beautiful cover images are among the hundreds of Japanese woodcut prints, or ukiyo-e, offered in high definition by the U.S. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC). The mass-produced ukiyo-e allowed Japanese art, culture, and history to reach wide audiences, in terms of both economic status and geographic distance.

Sean P. McManamon uses ukiyo-e to engage students with various aspects of Japanese society, particularly during the transition from the pre-modern to the modern era, in "Japanese Woodblock Prints as a Lens and a Mirror for Modernity," which begins on page 443.
