Historically speaking, amusements were not mere fun and games. Japanese aristocrats engaged in poetry contests (uta-awase) to polish their literary skills and elevated the game of kemari football to an art form. Warriors engaged in riding and archery training as martial arts. Amusements were both enjoyable activities and means for acquiring skills to improve the participants’ lives and social standings.
This exhibition explores the many faces of amusements as cultural practices through calligraphic works and paintings in our collection, with a focus on folding-screen paintings.
