Samurai Splendor: Sword Fittings from Edo Japan
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Mar 21, 2022 to Mar 31, 2024
Detail: After almost a century and a half of near-constant civil war and political upheaval, Japan unified under a new ruling family, the Tokugawa, in the early 1600s. Their reign lasted for more than 250 years, in an era referred to as the Edo period, after the town of Edo (present-day Tokyo) that became the new capital of Japan. The Tokugawa regime brought economic growth, prolonged peace, and widespread enjoyment of the arts and culture. The administration also imposed strict class separation and rigid regulations for all. As a result, the ruling class—with the shogun as governing military official, the daimyo as local feudal lords, and the samurai as their retainers—had only a few ways to display personal taste in public. Fittings and accessories for their swords, which were an indispensable symbol of power and authority, became a critical means of self-expression and a focal point of artistic creation.

This installation explores the luxurious aspects of Edo-period sword fashion, a fascinating form of arms and armor rarely featured in exhibitions outside Japan. It presents a selection of exquisite sword mountings, fittings, and related objects, including maker’s sketchbooks—all drawn from The Met collection and many rarely or never exhibited before.

Place: The Rubin Museum of Art - New York, 150 West 17th St., USA
Date: Jun 11, 2022 to Aug 03, 2025

Detail: More than a hundred remarkable objects from the Heber Bishop collection, including carvings of jade, the most esteemed stone in China, and many other hardstones, are on view in this focused presentation.

Embracing Color: Enamel in Chinese Decorative Arts, 1300–1900
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Jul 02, 2022 to Jan 04, 2026
Detail: Enamel decoration is a significant element of Chinese decorative arts that has long been overlooked. This exhibition reveals the aesthetic, technical, and cultural achievement of Chinese enamel wares by demonstrating the transformative role of enamel during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. The first transformational moment occurred in the late 14th to 15th century, when the introduction of cloisonné enamel from the West, along with the development of porcelain with overglaze enamels, led to a shift away from a monochromatic palette to colorful works. The second transformation occurred in the late 17th to 18th century, when European enameling materials and techniques were brought to the Qing court and more subtle and varied color tones were developed on enamels applied over porcelain, metal, glass, and other mediums. In both moments, Chinese artists did not simply adopt or copy foreign techniques; they actively created new colors and styles that reflected their own taste. The more than 100 objects on view are drawn mainly from The Met collection.

Jegi: Korean Ritual Objects
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Aug 06, 2022 to Oct 15, 2023
Detail: Rituals and customs help celebrate life’s milestones, remember the past, and mark time. In addition to their significance as social conventions, rituals often reaffirm state, governmental, and religious principles. In Korea, performing ancestral rites (jesa) is an enduring tradition that embodies respect for parents and the commemoration of ancestors, key tenets of Confucianism.

During the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), Neo-Confucianism was the ruling ideology. People engaged in rituals on the birth and death anniversaries for ancestors upward of five generations, and on major holidays, such as the Lunar New Year and Chuseok (Harvest Moon Festival). Court ancestral rites became the bedrock of Joseon political life and were enacted on a grand scale that included musical and dance performances. A key feature throughout was a table bearing food and drink offerings presented on jegi, or ritual objects.

This exhibition features the various types of ritual vessels and accessories that were used for this purpose and entombed, as well as the kinds of musical instruments played at state events. Though the vessels’ shapes, sizes, and materials may differ, a persistent feature is elevation, either through a high foot or a pedestal. In contemporary Korean society, no longer constrained by prescriptive state rules, jegi inspire contemporary artists and influence the form of everyday tableware.

Meeting Tessai: Modern Japanese Art from the Cowles Collection
Place: Freer Gallery of Art, National Museum of Asian Art. - 1050 Independence Ave SW, Freer Gallery of Art, National Museum of Asian Art., Washington, USA
Date: Aug 13, 2022 to Feb 18, 2024
Detail: Tomioka Tessai (1836–1924) exemplifies the modern Japanese painter. Contemporaries praised his avant-garde works, yet Tessai created his nonconformist paintings in a traditional way, basing them on ancient Japanese art and Ming and Qing paintings imported from China. Tessai’s teacher Ōtagaki Rengetsu (1791–1875)—nun, potter, calligrapher, poet, political activist—was at the vortex of immense political changes in Japan as the country’s feudal system collapsed and a constitutional monarchy was established. Rengetsu’s art, which harks back to inspirations from the twelfth century, inspired a generation of modern artists like Tessai.

Meeting Tessai highlights a transformative gift of early modern and modern Japanese paintings and calligraphy from the Mary and Cheney Cowles Collection. It is also the first major American exhibition in five decades to explore the significance of pan–East Asian influences—a pertinent topic in today’s interconnected world—through the work of Tessai, Rengetsu, and modern Japanese painting.

Ganesha: Lord of New Beginnings
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Nov 19, 2022 to Jun 16, 2024
Detail: Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, is a Brahmanical (Hindu) diety known to clear a path to the gods and remove obstacles in everyday life. He is loved by his devotees (bhakti) for his many traits, including his insatiable appetite for sweet cakes and his role as a dispenser of magic, surprise, and laughter. However, Ganesha is also the lord of ganas (nature deities) and can take on a fearsome aspect in this guise.

The seventh- to twenty-first-century works in this exhibition trace his depiction across the Indian subcontinent, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia. Featuring 24 works across sculptures, paintings, musical instruments, ritual implements, and photography, the exhibition emphasizes the vitality and exuberance of Ganesha as the bringer of new beginnings.

Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Jan 21, 2023 to Feb 04, 2024
Detail: This exhibition presents sixteen remarkable Chinese works illustrating how rabbits have been a prominent artistic subject since ancient times. Their earliest depictions are featured on jade pendants and sacred ritual bronze vessels dating from China’s Shang (ca. 1600–1048 BCE) and Western Zhou (ca. 1046–771 BCE) dynasties. A popular figure in literature and folklore, a rabbit is believed to inhabit the moon and assist the goddess Chang’e by preparing her elixir of immortality, as shown on the back of an eighth- to ninth-century bronze mirror as well as on a nineteenth-century embroidered silk mirror case. Also on view are images of the zodiac animals in jade and ceramics that were meant to adorn people’s homes as well as dispel harmful influences.

Learning to Paint in Premodern China
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Feb 18, 2023 to Jan 07, 2024
Detail: This exhibition will consider the underexplored question of how painters learned their craft in premodern China. Some painters learned at home, from fathers, mothers, or other relatives among whom painting was a shared language of familial communication. Others learned from friends who shared their passion. Still others turned to painting manuals, treatises that expanded knowledge of painting to anyone who could buy a woodblock-printed book. Paintings from The Met collection, along with a choice selection of important works from local private collectors, will illuminate these and other pathways to becoming a painter in premodern China. The exhibition will be presented in two rotations.

Rotation 1: February 18–July 16, 2023
Rotation 2: August 12, 2023–January 7, 2024

Anyang: China’s Ancient City of Kings
Place: Smithsonian Institution - Washington, 1050 Independence Ave. SW, USA
Date: Feb 25, 2023 to Apr 28, 2024
Detail: Anyang: China’s Ancient City of Kings is the first major exhibition in the United States dedicated to Anyang, the capital of China’s Shang dynasty (occupied ca. 1250 BCE–ca. 1050 BCE). The source of China’s earliest surviving written records and the birthplace of Chinese archaeology, Anyang holds a special connection with the National Museum of Asian Art. In 1929, one year after Academia Sinica began archaeological work at the Bronze Age site, Li Chi assumed leadership of the excavations. At the time, he was also a staff member of the Freer Gallery of Art (1925–30). To promote archaeological practice in China, the Freer supported Li Chi and his first two seasons of work at Anyang. This collaboration, predicated on the advancement of scientific knowledge and the protection of cultural patrimony, marks an important chapter in the history of Sino-American relations.

Life After: The Bardo
Place: The Rubin Museum of Art - New York, 150 West 17th St., USA
Date: Mar 17, 2023 to Jan 14, 2024
Detail: Life After: The Bardo is an installation that invites visitors to lay down and listen to the excerpts from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, one of the most widely distributed forms of bardo-related ritual texts.

Beliefs about death and the afterlife vary among Tibetan Buddhist lineages, but all the traditions share in the concept of the bardo, an intermediate state between death and rebirth. The texts read aloud during funerary rituals describe the deceased’s journey through three bardos. They detail the colors, lights, sounds, and deities the deceased will encounter while guiding them toward a favorable rebirth. By recognizing these visions as manifestations of reality, one may escape the cycle of rebirth and achieve liberation.

Life After: The Bardo features recitations of two bardo ritual texts, including a full recitation of an English translation of Liberation upon Hearing in the Bardo. This installation is presented in conjunction with the Rubin Museum’s yearlong thematic focus on Life After, exploring moments of change that propel us into the unknown and compel us to imagine what comes next.

Death Is Not the End
Place: The Rubin Museum of Art - New York, 150 West 17th St., USA
Date: Mar 17, 2023 to Jan 15, 2024
Detail: Death Is Not the End is a cross-cultural exhibition that explores notions of death and afterlife through the art of Tibetan Buddhism and Christianity. During a time of great global turmoil, loss, and uncertainty, the exhibition invites contemplation of the universal human condition of impermanence and the desire to continue to exist.

The exhibition features prints, oil paintings, bone ornaments, thangka paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and ritual items, and brings together 58 objects spanning 12 centuries from the Rubin Museum’s collection alongside artworks on loan from private collections and major institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Morgan Library and Museum, Museum aan de Stroom in Antwerp, Wellcome Collection in London, Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, San Antonio Museum of Art, and more.

The exhibition is organized around three major themes: the Human Condition, or the shared understanding of our mortality in this world; States In-Between, or the concepts of limbo, purgatory, and bardo; and (After)life, focusing on resurrection, ideas of transformation, and heaven.

Anxiety and Hope in Japanese Art
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Apr 08, 2023 to Jul 14, 2024
Detail: Drawn largely from The Met’s renowned collection of Japanese art, this exhibition explores the twin themes of anxiety and hope, with a focus on the human stories in and around art and art making.

The exhibition begins with sacred images from early Japan that speak to concerns about death, dying, and the afterlife or that were created in response to other uncertainties, such as war and natural disaster. The presentation then proceeds chronologically, highlighting medieval Buddhist images of paradises and hells, Zen responses to life and death, depictions of war and pilgrimage, and the role of protective and hopeful images in everyday life. In the final galleries, the exhibition’s underlying themes are explored through a selection of modern woodblock prints, garments, and photographs.

Witness to Wartime: The Painted Diary of Takuichi Fuji
Place: Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens - Delray Beach, 4000 Morikami Park Road, Florida, USA
Date: May 06, 2023 to Oct 06, 2023
Detail: Mr. Takuichi (1891-1964) bore witness to his life in America and to his experiences during World War II with a remarkably comprehensive visual record of this important time in American history. He offers a unique perspective on his generation, shedding light on events that most Americans did not experience, yet whose lessons remain salient today.

Takuichi Fujii was 50 years old when war broke out between the U.S. and Japan. In a climate of increasing fear and racist propaganda, he became one of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry on the Pacific Coast forced to leave their homes and live in geographically isolated incarceration camps. Confronting such circumstances, Fujii began an illustrated diary that spans the years from his forced removal in May 1942 to the closing of Minidoka in October 1945.

In over 250 ink drawings ranging from public to intimate views, the diary depicts detailed images of the incarceration camps, and the inmates’ daily routines and pastimes. He also produced over 130 watercolors that reiterate and expand upon the diary, augmenting those scenes with many new views, as well as other aesthetic and formal considerations of painting.

Tree & Serpent: Early Buddhist Art in India, 200 BCE–400 CE
Place: The Met Fifth Avenue, Gallery Gallery 999 - New York, 1000 Fifth Avenue, USA
Date: Jul 21, 2023 to Nov 13, 2023
Detail: This is the story of the origins of Buddhist art. The religious landscape of ancient India was transformed by the teachings of the Buddha, which in turn inspired art devoted to expressing his message. Sublime imagery adorned the most ancient monumental religious structures in ancient India, known as stupas. The stupa not only housed the relics of the Buddha but also honored him through symbolic representations and visual storytelling. Original relics and reliquaries are at the heart of this exhibition, which culminates with the Buddha image itself.

Featuring more than 125 objects dating from 200 BCE to 400 CE, the exhibition presents a series of evocative and interlocking themes to reveal both the pre-Buddhist origins of figurative sculpture in India and the early narrative traditions that were central to this formative moment in early Indian art. With major loans from a dozen lenders across India, as well as from the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States, it transports visitors into the world of early Buddhist imagery that gave expression to this new religion as it grew from a core set of ethical teachings into one of the world’s great religions. Objects associated with Indo-Roman exchange reveal India’s place in early global trade. The exhibition showcases objects in various media, including limestone sculptures, gold, silver, bronze, rock crystal, and ivory. Highlights include spectacular sculptures from southern India—newly discovered and never before publicly exhibited masterpieces—that add to the world canon of early Buddhist art.

Transformation: Modern Japanese Art
Place: The Honolulu Museum of Art - Honolulu, 900 South Beretania Street, Hawaii, USA
Date: Jul 27, 2023 to Oct 15, 2023
Detail: Inspired by a recent gift of over 125 artworks by noted collector Terry Welch, this exhibition explores the dynamic modern period (1860s–1930s) in Japanese art, when dramatic changes in society were reflected in the arts, resulting in works of stunning vision and technical accomplishment.

As Japan became part of a larger, modernized world, public education and national exhibitions placed the arts within a larger search for a new identity. Artists rediscovered the past, and upon its bedrock they built a road into the future. Painting, which was traditionally recognized as the highest form of expression, became the vehicle for the new national style of Nihonga, literally “Japanese painting.” Artists in other mediums responded in turn, and as painters collaborated with ceramics and lacquer workshops, a broad-based, neoteric aesthetic rich in innovation emerged.

HoMA’s special strengths in modern Japanese art, with an important collection and a ground-breaking exhibition history, make the museum uniquely situated to present an exhibition on this exciting subject. The exhibition features highlights from a recent major gift of 127 modern Japanese paintings, ceramics and lacquerwares donated by prominent collector Terry Welch. Paintings and objects by artists ranging from early leaders in the modernization of art education, to superstars of the national exhibitions, to independent eccentrics demonstrate the diversity of voices that reinvented the arts with a bold new vision toward the future at the turn of the 20th century.
