... Then again, you may be more interested in Japanese prints rather than photography. In that case, Saline's "Artists Among Us'' lecture by David Weinberg on that same evening (Tuesday, Nov. 8) may be what you're looking for.

According to spokesperson Valerie Mann, "Dr. Weinberg has been collecting Japanese woodblock prints for over 20 years and has published 'Kuniyoshi: the Faithful Samurai' telling the story of Kuniyoshi prints depicting the 47 samurai who loyally supported their Lord Asano and took revenge in his honor.''

Weinberg's talk, "Sleuthing the Ako Legend from its Burial Grounds, Temples, Chronicles, and Prints,'' will recount his "Kuniyoshi'' odyssey that has taken him from London and Leiden to Tokyo and Ako. There's no cost for admission. The lecture will be held at 7 p.m. in the Saline Public Library, 555 N. Maple Road. For more information, call (734) 429-0008.
