Exhibitions

Philip and Tomoko Rosenfeld have been collecting Japanese bamboo baskets for more than a decade. Their venture began with a casual visit to an antique shop in Japan.

The exhibition "Double Vision" consists of two parts - "imaginary" and "real" - providing a view of opposing facets of contemporary Japanese society through the eyes of 30 artists of different generations.

Originally, the netsuke was a carved and embellished clothing accessory that was tied with a cord to other items known as sagemono (hanging things).

Calligraphy and kokuji (symbols carved on wooden boards) are crafts that originated in China and were brought to Korea and Japan.

The print collection of Michael Rukin of Boston, witch includes some 250 prints I various techniques, was donated to the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art at the end of 2012.

The traditional cultural heroes of Japan were role-models of behavior and basis of universal concept.

Kacho-ga is one of the three pictorial motifs deriving from the Chinese classification system.

This exhibition is the fourth of its kind since the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art reopened its doors to the public in 1995. .

Much attention is paid in Japanese culture to aesthetic aspects of the weather, which is not simply accepted as a phenomenon of nature that influences human behaviour.

"The timely message of the Manyôshû (Collection of Myriad Leaves, compiled in the 8th century), the ancient Poetry Anthology of Japan, reminds us of the human spirit and the inspiration that comes from love and a way of life that is gradually disappearing,"
