 central question framing the selection of the exhibited images\, most 
 provided by the UCSF Japanese Woodblock Print Collection and the 
 International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken) 
 collection\, is how was the human body represented in mid-19th century 
 Japan? Ukiyo-e refers to a genre of hand-drawn paintings and woodblock 
 prints from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the 20th century. By drawing on 
 various visual arts and medical media\, this exhibit examines pregnancy and 
 childbirth in early modern Japan and how birth control methods such as 
 abortion and mabiki (infanticide or “thinning out”) were viewed at the 
 time.   \n\nMaternal Health and Images of the Body in Japanese Ukiyo-e is 
 curated by Manami Yasui\, PhD\, and her project team from the International 
 Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken\, Kyoto\, Japan)\, with 
 assistance from the UCSF Archives and Special Collections team and 
 exhibition design by Mark McGowan. \n\nImage credit: Realize One’s
