The Museum has held special exhibitions featuring traditional
Japanese design since 1986, starting with the "Pine, Bamboo and Plum,"
and this exhibition marks the ninth in the series. We have selected
about 100 items mostly from the Museum collection with landscape
designs. |
Today, it is well known that Japanese paper stencils (katagami) have influenced Western artists when Japonisme was popular. We will introduce the variety of stencils from the Museum collection. |
Edo period cosmetic utensils such as bronze mirrors with handles, makie-lacquered,
mirror stands and items especially used for teeth-blackening (a popular
custom until the early Meiji period) will be displayed. |
