Echoes of Edo: Who Was Edoardo Chiossone?

In the debut episode of CleveCast: Voices of the CCMA, we introduce the remarkable figure who made the exhibition Hokusai & Ukiyo-e: The Floating World possible. Edoardo Chiossone, a 19th-century Italian artist and engraver who spent over two decades in Japan, where he built one of the most significant collections of Japanese art in Europe. This episode explores how his story—and his collection—came to Genoa, Italy and, eventually, to the Cleve Carney Museum of Art.
