Museum official page: www.nezu-muse.or.jp:80/en/exhibition ↗We often hear that, compared to Western art, classical Japanese art is inaccessible and its key features difficult to understand. Many people also seem to feel that the technical terminology used in the descriptions of these artworks is unfamiliar and further prevents them from appreciating the works. However, learning these terms expands our ways of seeing and broadens the appeal of the art, making it possible to experience the attraction and wonder of Japanese art all the more deeply. In this exhibition, we explain the techniques and terminology of Japanese painting simply, with particular focus on techniques involving ink and gold, through examples from the Nezu Museum collection. We hope you enjoy the exhibition and even bring your children to see it over the summer holiday.
