Oct. 26-Dec.8
Highlighting decades-worth of beautiful East Asian artworks from the 16th to 17th century — a period of social, trade and cultural change in Japan — this exhibition explores the diverse art techniques and expressions of the time.
Pieces on show include a displayed section of a 22-meter-long picture scroll by the early Edo Period (1603-1868) painter Tawaraya Sotatsu (1570-1643) and calligrapher, potter and artist Honami Koetsu (1558-1637). For the collaborative work, Sotatsu painted the deer motifs, while Koetsu transcribed 28 poems selected from the ancient and modern poetry anthology "Shinkokinwaka-shu."
