Masterpieces from the Permanent Collection IV: From One Flower to Another, The Shapes of the Rapport January 23th (Saturday) — March 28th (Sunday)
Sakakibara Taizan, Peonies

Flora sprouts forth beautiful colors and shapes – flowers which move the hearts of people, entrusted to feeling. Together with flowers representing natural beauty, and describing the fluttering splendor and essence of things, they become an example through which to discuss art and technique. As well as works from the collection, the various engagements between people and flowers can be observed. From there, the blooming flowers of art, the bearing of fruit and sown seeds, affords a search through deep-rooted soil. Works by Takeuchi Seiho, Suda Kunitaro, Kiyomizu Rokube V, and Nakamura Hosei among others, will be exhibited.
