Japanese people have enjoyed feasting both indoors and outdoors since the old times. For this special exhibition, items such as bowls, trays, elaborate lunch boxes and sake utensils made for parties and special occasions are selected for display from the lacquerware collection of the Yuasa Museum. |
Tsutsugaki is
one of the traditional Japanese hand-painted resist-dye
techniques. Indigo-dyed bedding fabrics, wrapping cloths as well
as some ceramic examples that use similar techniques will be displayed. |
The ICU Library houses the complete set of Banks Florilegium in its collection. Following the 2006 exhibition which displayed 157 prints from the section of Australia, the Museum plans to show the next set of prints in sequence. |
