Treasures From the Scholar's Study: Writing Implements From the Tokugawa Collection

The Tokugawa Art Museum
Finished
In China, the brush, ink stick, ink stone, and paper used for writing were known as the "Four Treasures of the Study." The exceptional examples of writing implements were used and enjoyed in the practice of writing and painting by the literati, who were high-ranking bureaucrats who maintained their studies for reading and writing.
Writing implements were also an essential element in the daimyo household. Chinese writing implements were mainly placed in the official chambers and decorated the space with atmosphere. This exhibition introduces the writing implements passed down in the Owari Tokugawa family and explores their charms which made the daimyo culture so colorful.
