SHARE
The Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets) was written about 800 years ago by Teika Fujiwara, a poet in the early Kamakura period (1185-1333), who selected and collected one poem from each of 100 poets at his villa on Mt. Ogura in Kyoto.
In the upper part of the five-seven-five verse and the lower part of the seven-seven-five verse, the scenery comes to mind like a picture before one's eyes in splendor, and each poem is filled with various thoughts and feelings.
This exhibition features 100 Ogura Hyakunin Isshu tea bowls from the Kyoto Museum of Traditional Industries' collection of Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki ceramics, as well as other crafts related to the Hyakunin Isshu and the classics, to convey the appeal of traditional Japanese culture and Kyoto's traditional industries that support it.
In addition to the tea bowls, "Tokonameyaki Kabinas" and "Hyakunin Isshu karuta from the Edo period" from the collection of Saga Arashiyama Bunka-kan, as well as Kyo dolls, woven frames, and folding screens from the collection will also be on display.
