The Superlative Artistry of Japan

This exhibition captures Japan’s creative culture and monozukuri spirit through the theme of “superlative artistry,” which refers to the exceptional methods and techniques used. Starting with the craft works from the Meiji era, the exhibition features 38 items across a wide range of genres, including contemporary art, craft works, food samples, and shokugan (small toys sold with candy). Exquisite ancient art, together with urban contemporary artistic proposals, energize a conversation about Japanese art and its legacy to the world. 3. Director: Yuji Yamashita (Professor, Meiji Gakuin University)
