10th Renewal Anniversary Masterpiece Exhibition: National Treasure "Red and White Plum Blossoms"

About this event

MOA Museum of Art marks the 10th anniversary of its renewal supervised by the "New Material Research Laboratory" led by contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto and architect Tomoyuki Sakakida. Commemorating this milestone, this exhibition looks back on representative exhibitions over the past 10 years while displaying carefully selected masterpieces of Japanese art from the collection amassed by founder Mokichi Okada. In particular, the simultaneous display of three National Treasures, including Ogata Korin's National Treasure "Red and White Plum Blossoms" screen, is spectacular. In addition, works essential for discussing the art and culture of each era will be exhibited, including precious paintings from the Nara and Heian periods, Momoyama art, Edo-period ukiyo-e, and contemporary crafts by Living National Treasures. In early spring in February when plum blossoms are in full bloom, visitors can fully enjoy the essence of Japanese art along with the scenery of the adjacent Zuiunkyo Plum Garden. As one of the highlights, the Important Cultural Property "Fragment of Illustrated Sutra of Cause and Effect Past and Present," a precious Nara-period painting, will be presented via enlarged video projection. In addition, the display looking back on the 10 years since the renovation will feature representative works selected from past exhibitions.
