"Exploring the Exquisite Applied Arts of Asia: A Journey through Time" Step into the captivating world of Asian applied arts as we delve into a collection that spans centuries. From delicate woodblock prints to intricate paintings, each piece tells a unique story and showcases the immense talent of its creators. Transport yourself to the surgical ward (Gekashitsu) from Bugei Kurabu (Literary Club), ca. 1906, envisioned by Mizuno Toshikata. This artwork offers a glimpse into medical practices of the time, capturing both the precision and dedication required in this field. In another masterpiece, witness a courtesan placing a hairpin in her hair, ca. 1714, crafted by Kaigetsudo Anchi. The attention to detail is astounding as every stroke brings life to this elegant scene, showcasing not only beauty but also grace. Continuing our journey through time, we encounter Kaigetsudo Doshin's portrayal of a courtesan for the ninth month, ca. 1714. The artist skillfully captures her allure and mysterious aura with vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork. The Festival of Dolls (Third Month), ca. 1767 by Ishikawa Toyomasa immerses us in an enchanting celebration filled with intricately dressed dolls and joyful festivities—a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Witness Ippitsusai Buncho's depiction of The Second Segawa Kikunojo in the Role of Reizei in "Ima-o-sakari Suehiro Genj. . 12th month, " 1768—an exquisite example of Kabuki theater artistry that captivates audiences even today. Ichiryusai Yoshitoyo's Tiger in a Cage transports us back to seventh-month celebrations in 1860—where ferocity meets restraint within this powerful image encapsulating both danger and control.
