...Meiji-era reforms. The Grand Palais show's principal organizer, Guimet curator H?l?ne Bayou, sensibly stops at the late 19th century, when Japanese artists began to look beyond scenes of city life and toward the countryside. Thus, you won't find any works here by Katsushika Hokusai or Ando Hiroshige, two giants of Japanese landscape prints. Less defensibly, you also won't find much about the enormous impact ukiyo-e had on Western artists, especially France's own Impressionists, or even on present-day Japanese comic-strip art forms manga and anim?. And a more adventuresome exhibition might even have...
...turned into stunning reality. Manchester Art Gallery, best known for its superb collection of 19th century works, reopened May 25 after a four-year and some $50 million transformation by Michael Hopkins. Piccadilly Gardens, remodeled by the British landscape design firm EDAW, and including the celebrated Japanese architect Tadao Ando's first British building, opened in June.

Through the medium of prints, the range of things that could be depicted widened to take in all Japan. Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and Ando Hiroshige's Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido are both travelogues and social listings, in which every sort of occupation, from pit sawing to innkeeping, gets its allotted description. This scrutiny of lower-class life would never have held so much interest to an earlier Japan. Manga, images of common life...
...didn't even know, or care, that their new camera was an APS model, which is about as smooth a technology transfer as you can hope for. Elph just looks real cool, and it fits into a shirt pocket. "The design had much more impact than APS," admits Ted Ando, general manager of Canon U.S.A. Inc.'s camera division. Cameramakers have got the message, and a slew of Elph-licates are headed for store shelves...
