Tokyowoodblockprintseries on display atcampusmuseum
The Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St., will open Tokyo: The Imperial Capital, an exhibition of woodblock prints by Japanese artist Koizumi Kishio, tomorrow.
This woodblock print series shows the reconstruction of Tokyo after a major earthquake in 1923. This reconstruction helped to make Japan a world power in the early 20th century.
The series depicts Japan's thrust in modernity from the reconstruction, said Hillary Perderson, Asian art intern and doctorate student in Japanese art history.
Kishio's prints show airports, office buildings and bridges. Pederson said.
One print, an image of an execution ground, is open to political interpretation.
"It can be seen as pretty nationalistic," Pederson said. "Or it can be seen as a warning against militarism."
In addition to Kishio's work the museum has its own permanent collection of Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period, 1615 to 1868.
These prints show pleasure districts of Kyoto, Peterson said.
"I wanted to draw a parallel from the old Tokyo and the new Tokyo," Pederson said.
Kishio's woodblocks are on a national touring exhibition on loan from The Wolfsonian-Florida International University.
The woodblock prints will be on display in the art museum until March 20.

Contested attorney general confirmed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Alberto Gonzales won U.S. Senate confirmation yesterday as attorney general. Confirmation came despite democratic accusations that he helped formulate White House policies that led to overseas prisoner abuse and was too beholden to President Bush to be the nation's top law enforcement official.
The Senate voted 60-36 to put the first Hispanic ever into the job, with all of the "no" votes coming from Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independent Jim Jeffords of Vermont. Last week, 12 Democrats and Jeffords voted against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's confirmation.
Gonzales replaces John Ashcroft, who won more Democratic support four years ago despite contentious stances on a number of issues. Eight Democrats voted for Ashcroft, while six voted for Gonzales.
Justice Department spokeswoman Tasia Scolinos.
He was sworn in around 6 p.m. EST as the nation's 80th attorney general by Vice President Dick Cheney in a private ceremony in the White House, said
Republicans and some Democrats praised Gonzales' life story: the grandson of Mexican immigrants who worked his way up to being President Bush's top lawyer in the White House.
U. S. Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Florida), the first Cuban-American senator, even broke with Senate tradition and praised Gonzales in Spanish on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
Democrats praised Gonzales as well, but many said they couldn't look past his participation in administration policies they said had led to abuses that occurred in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. They also complained that he refused to answer their questions on how those policies were created inside the White House.
At first, many Democrats had joined Republicans in praising the former state judge who traveled with Bush to Washington after the president's 2000 victory.
"When Mr. Gonzales was nominated several weeks ago, I didn't know a single member of this body, Republican or Democrat, who had expressed any
intention to vote against this nominee." said Christopher Dodd (D- Connecticut).
But some Democrats turned against him after he sidestepped questions on what advice he gave Bush and other administration officials on the interrogation methods that could be used on suspected terrorists or witnesses.
Some Democrats contended that Gonzales' January 2002 memo as White House counsel led to the abuse of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Pressed on the issue, Gonzales defended language in which he labeled as "quaint" some of the Geneva Conventions' human rights protections for prisoners of war and said they did not extend to Al Qaeda and other suspected terrorists.
But he also declared, "Torture and abuse will not be tolerated by this administration." He told senators that, as attorney general, he would "ensure the Department of Justice aggressively pursues those responsible for such abhorrent actions."
Gonzales shouldn't be a scapegoat for what happened overseas, Republicans said.
