Two scenes from a Samurai epic: left, a warrior brandishes his sword while an ethereal woman seeks to restrain (?) him; the severed head of a demon (?) cat lies on the ground; right, two mothers, one holding her child on her shoulder, the other seated on the ground breast-feeding. Woodcuts by Yanagawa Shigenobu, ca. 1830 (?).

Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
