Enjoy Works of Japanese Art and Design!

Finished

Works of art can be anything, from the arrangement of plants and animals to natural phenomena like the checkered pattern on a tortoise's shell. Japanese design, while taking in influences from external patterns of countries such as China and gradually making them their own, also have it's own unique patterns, with both a part of the country's design history. This exhibition focuses on pictures, ornaments, ceramics, and lacquer-ware products from the Yayoi-era until the present in order to better understand Japanese aesthetic sensibilities. From Yayoi-era fashion, to the Kamakura-era picture boxes, to the edo-era artist Nonomura Ninsei's pottery, this space will have many examples on display for your inspection!
