To celebrate the new year, this exhibition focuses on various auspicious symbols and patterns such as “shōchikubai (pine tree, bamboo and plum tree)” “takarazukushi (collection of treasures)” and “ōgi (fan),” found in the designs of nō costumes and other craft works.
In addition, the exhibition introduces “Shakkyō” “Shōjō” and some other celebratory programs through the masterpieces of nō masks, alongside the museum’s recent acquisition of a set of three hanging scrolls, Shakkyō and Peonies by Suzuki Shuitsu, 19th century, Edo to Meiji Period, which will be the first time to be on display.
Please enjoy the world of nō plays and gorgeous patterns in the joyous atmosphere of the new year.
