There was a sudden camellia gardening boom at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Interest in rare specimen plants rose and large numbers of books and pictorial catalogues detailing the various types were published. One such work, "One Hundred Camellias", is today in the Nezu collection. It is an exceptional example of this fad, with its colorful depiction of more than 100 types of camellias. This exhibition presents as much as possible of the two "One Hundred Camellias" scrolls, in total more than 24 meters in length. Visitors can enjoy this New Year’s season display of camellias, along with other images of the blossoms in Muromachi bird and flower paintings and Edo period decorative arts.
