Technique and Expression in Japanese Traditional Art: Decorated Paper
The Nezu Museum
Finished
SHARE
It is often said that traditional Japanese art is rather inaccessible and that people, feeling they cannot understand it, give up without trying to explore such works. In an attempt to overcome this barrier, Nezu Institute of Fine Arts has curated a series of exhibitions to address key points for understanding Japanese art. Many tend to avoid Japanese calligraphy because they cannot read it, but in this exhibition, the second of their introductory series, the focus will be on the paper on which calligraphy is written, and the decoration that accompanies it.
The exhibition explores a wide variety of decorative techniques, the colors, gold and silver, and glittering mica, applied to these papers. Focusing on works from the collection, it will present examples from paintings as well as calligraphy. Experience calligraphy as a more approachable art form and deepen your appreciation of traditional Japanese art.
