Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan

Ehon: The Artist and the Book in Japan, an exhibition at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, NYPL is not listed among the online exhibitions at the New York Public Library. The "Related Online Resources", however, include illustrations from two ehon (picture books) and an exhibition brochure in PDF format. The ehon, especially the book by Kamisaka Sekka, are beautiful and well-reproduced. Both use Flash as the display medium, so that zooming leads to pixilation of the images, but sometimes it's worth it to see smaller details. The PDF brochure is informative, not boring, and, while including references to the display, is complete in itself.

The New York Times exhibition review Centuries of Fleeting Moments, Timeless on the Page by Edward Rothstein is a good critical review.
