SHARE
This exhibition features Japanese paintings from the museum’s collection with literary motifs. From stories and legends to religious texts and moral precepts, literature retold and read since ancient times was deeply tied to painting. The 31-character worlds of Japanese waka poems were pictorialized, or conversely, poems were composed with inspiration from painting. The exhibition introduces the exquisite world of narrative and lyrical paintings, which developed in distinctively Japanese forms such as picture scrolls, folding screens, and folding fans, through works from the Sumitomo Collection.
