  • The Aesthetics of the Capital, at The
    Those Beautiful Images We Know So Well, Shown In Context Rinpa: The Aesthetics of the Capital, at the Kyoto National Museum Review by Emily Sano, October 20, 2015 The abundant exhibitions at many museums in major cities and the national museums provide one of the special treats of visiting Japan in the autumn. This year is no exception, but visitors need to know that this year's most significant exhibit for the traditional Japanese arts is Rinpa: The Aesthetics of the Capital, at the Kyoto National Museum. The exhibition, which opened on October 10, will last only six weeks, until November 23, 2015. While the excellent catalogue lists 175 objects, many are on view for shorter periods of time, and some displays change every week on Mondays during the run of the exhibition. The term Rinpa―which is combined from the second character in Kōrin's name and the character for "school" or "style"―was coined in modern times and did not exist during the Edo period. Though sometimes described as a school, Rinpa is less a direct lineage of teachers and their disciples than a lineage of personal artistic influence: Sōtatsu's work inspired Kōrin, whose oeuvre, in turn, influenced Hōitsu. Of course, these three artists never actually met: most artists working in the Rinpa mode discovered the aesthetic for themselves and pursued it out of admiration for their artistic predecessors. “Rinpa and Kyoto,” English preface, p. V) One of the most familiar of Japanese decorative styles, Rinpa (also spelled Rimpa, which this reviewer prefers, but I will stay with the Museum's spelling) includes works commonly viewed as the epitome of the arts of Japan.

  • Faith and Power in Japanese Buddhist Art, 1600-2005
    japanese art | religions graham FAITH AND POWER IN JAPANESE BUDDHIST ART, 1600–2005 Faith and Power in Japanese Buddhist Art explores the transformation of Buddhism from the premodern to the contemporary era in Japan and the central role its visual culture has played in this transformation. The chapters elucidate the thread of change over time in the practice of Bud- dhism as revealed in sites of devotion and in imagery representing the FAITH AND POWER religion’s most popular deities and religious practices. It also introduces the work of modern and contemporary artists who are not generally as- sociated with institutional Buddhism but whose faith inspires their art. IN JAPANESE BUDDHIST ART The author makes a persuasive argument that the neglect of these ma- terials by scholars results from erroneous presumptions about the aes- thetic superiority of early Japanese Buddhist artifacts and an asserted 160 0 – 20 05 decline in the institutional power of the religion after the sixteenth century. She demonstrates that recent works constitute a significant contribution to the history of Japanese art and architecture, providing evidence of Buddhism’s persistent and compelling presence at all levels of Japanese society. The book is divided into two chronological sections. The first explores Buddhism in an earlier period of Japanese art (1600–1868), emphasiz- ing the production of Buddhist temples and imagery within the larger political, social, and economic concerns of the time. The second section addresses Buddhism’s visual culture in modern Japan (1868–2005), specifically the relationship between Buddhist institutions prior to World War II and the increasingly militaristic national government that had initially persecuted them.

  • Tokyo National Museum
    Ⅱ Outline of the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage The Independent Administrative Institution (IAI), National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, was formed in April 2007 through the merging of the IAI National Museums (Tokyo National Museum, Kyoto National Museum, Nara National Museum, and Kyushu National Museum) and the IAI National Research Institutes for Cultural Properties (Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties and Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties), all of which share the same mission: the conservation and utilization of cultural properties. With the addition of the International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region, which was established in October 2011, the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage now comprise a total of seven separate institutions. Japan’s cultural properties are the precious assets of the Japanese people. In order to preserve and utilize these properties more effectively and efficiently under unified management, each ofthe seven existing institutions plays the following roles: Tokyo National Museum Kyoto National Museum Nara National Museum As Japan’s foremost museum in the The Kyoto National Museum collects, Nara National Museum collects, pre- humanities field, Tokyo National Mu- preserves, manages, and exhibits serves, manages, and displays cultural seum collects, preserves, manages, cultural properties, while also properties, while also conducting re- and displays cultural properties from conducting research and providing search and providing educational pro- across Japan and other Asian regions, educational programs.

  • Tokyo National Museum
    Ⅲ Activities of Each Institution Tokyo National Museum As Japan’s representative museum in the humanities field, Tokyo National Museum collects, preserves, manages, and displays cultural properties from across Japan and other Asian re- gions, while also conducting research and providing educational programs. Tokyo National Museum was established in 1872 and has the longest history among all museums in Japan. Our collection contains more than 114,000 items, including many National Treasures and Important Cul- tural Properties. We collect, preserve, restore and display tangible cultural properties from across Japan and other Asian regions. We also conduct research into these properties and promote understanding of them through educational activities. At Tohaku (our nickname for the Tokyo National Museum), April 2014 saw the opening of the Main Gate Plaza, as part of the redevelopment of the area around the museum’s main entrance. The Main Gate Plaza incorporates an information desk, ticket counters, a museum shop and a nursing room; this new fa- cility presents a warm welcome to visitors. In the regular exhibitions, Rooms 15-19 in the Honkan building have had new cases installed with special high-transmission, low-reflectance glass, which makes it possible to view the exhibits more clear- ly, creating an enhanced exhibition environment. In addition, special self-guided tours are now available using the museum’s “Tohaku Navi” guide application, along with various other new measures to help im- prove the visitor experience. Besides its exhibitions and displays, the museum also offers a wide range of different programs in- ZENIYA Masami cluding hands-on activities, guided tours, and workshops.

  • Bamboo Grove of Spring and Autumn and Crows
    Screens from the 16th to 17th Century: Bamboo Grove of Spring and Autumn and Crows Golden Week Lecture Series— Four Masterpieces of Japanese Painting: A Symposium Masatomo Kawai, Professor Emeritus, Keio University and Senior Academic Advisor, Idemitsu Museum of Arts May 20, 2007 Seattle Art Museum First of all, I would like to congratulate the Seattle Art Museum for the successful conservation of two important Japanese folding screens. These works of art show the characteristics of late 16th and early 17th century Japanese painting in this category. I would like to celebrate and share the revived inspiration that these artworks present to you. Today I would like to discuss three important things. First of all, the time period in which these screens were produced, second the theme, and third the stylistic characteristics. Byōbu folding screens originated in the 8th century, and at this time Japanese artists began painting on these screens. This is an example from The Tale of Genji, a folding screen from the 12th century.1 At far right is a folding screen and above is shōji, which functioned as a sliding door. The topics or themes depicted in these screens are Japanese nature and life in that era, as well as some ceremonial events of the time. These themes often alluded to or had connections with Japanese literature. This is another example from The Tale of Genji, and here is another example of shōji screen art.2 This, however, is different from what you saw earlier because it is more like a Chinese painting. I will not have time to go in-depth into the differences between Chinese and Japanese style painting, but this one has perspective, which was derived from the Chinese painting style, while the Japanese folding screens did not have that type of perspective.
