 he central question framing the selection of the exhibited images\, most pr
 ovided by the UCSF Japanese Woodblock Print Collection and the Internationa
 l Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken) collection\, is how wa
 s 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 (16
 03-1868) to the 20th century. By drawing on various visual arts and medical
  media\, this exhibit examines pregnancy and childbirth in early modern Jap
 an and how birth control methods such as abortion and mabiki (infanticide o
 r “thinning out”) were viewed at the time.
