As Japan is completely surrounded by sea on all sides and also experiences abundant rainfall, water has been a very familiar presence to the Japanese. Water has been depicted in a variety of forms as a subject of art: waterfalls cascading down high mountains, rough white waves splashing in the surf, calm shimmering water, and rain. In these paintings, the movement and change of water was captured and depicted as a moment in a scene.
This exhibition brings together various depictions of water from early modern to modern Japanese paintings and artifacts.
I’m deeply interested in the works of art depicting the four seasons and the items that make me feel the history.
Look! Various exhibitions are held as well as those related to sake and sakura!!
