| The Changing Seasons: Traditional Arts of Japan |
The Japanese are well-attuned to the changing seasons: showers of cherry blossoms in spring, the mesmerizing hum of cicadas in summer, windblown scarlet leaves contrasting gray autumn skies, and the first snowflakes in the chill of winter. Shaped by the cycle of changes in nature, utilitarian pieces take on new meaning and reveal a rich artistic heritage. With over 100 examples from the renowned collection of Jeffrey Montgomery, this exhibition explores the changing seasons and their profound impact on traditional Japanese art by examining the beauty and significance of day-to-day objects.
