Check out the party at Eugene’s Schnitzer Museum Thursday night

We got a sneak peek this afternoon at “On The Road: Two Visions of the Tokaido,” which officially opens with a reception starting at 6 p.m. Thursday and runs through Sept. 13.
Don’t miss it if you’re in town. The exhibit combines two series of 55 prints each of the Tokaido, the first series by Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige (1795-1858) and the second, re-imagining Hiroshige’s series, by Jun’ichiro Sekino in 1959.
The Tokaido was, and is, a road linking the capital of Japan, Edo, with Kyoto.It had 53 stations along the way for travelers, and each forms the subject of a print.
The Schnitzer owns an edition of prints from each artist; they’re nicely displayed in the main gallery, with each station shown side by side.
Best of all, the On Ensemble will be playing at Thursday’s reception, which is free.
