The Goto Museum of Art in Kaminoge, Setagaya Ward, will hold the special exhibition “Scenes of the Muromachi Spirit: Radiant Seasons and the Beauty of Renga Kaishi” from 27 October to 6 December. The exhibition presents seasonal scenes depicted on Muromachi-period folding screens and renga kaishi poetry papers.
The exhibition focuses on seasonal imagery depicted on yamato-e folding screens and renga kaishi poetry papers from the Muromachi period, exploring scenes that embody the “Muromachi spirit” and introducing the intersection of literature and art, one aspect of Muromachi culture. Some exhibits are scheduled to change.
Lectures, which require advance registration, and gallery talks featuring slide-based explanations of the works are scheduled during the exhibition. See the Goto Museum of Art website for details.
