The exhibition "British Museum Japanese Art Collection: A Flourishing Diversity of Edo Paintings" at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is a valuable opportunity to explore the history of international cultural exchange through Edo-period folding screens, hanging scrolls, and ukiyo-e. Selected representative works from a collection of approximately 40,000 pieces will be on display, offering a rich viewing experience.
Be sure to participate in special lectures and rakugo performances as well. The lectures will provide in-depth insights into the allure of ukiyo-e and the British Museum's Japanese collection by experts. Although prior reservation is required, all seats are free seating, so early registration is recommended.
