The Best of Museum Collection

Starts 1/24

MOA Museum of Art presents the three National Treasures from its collection in this periodical exhibition. The Museum’s art collection, developed by the founder Okada Mokichi (1882–1955), mainly consists of artworks from Japan, China and other countries in Asia. It encompasses a wide range of outstanding items of historical significance as well as of aesthetic excellence, ranging from paintings and calligraphic works to sculpture, works of kōgei, and beyond.

The National Treasures to be displayed are the Red and White Plum Blossoms by Ogata Kōrin, the Tea-leaf Jar with design of Wisteria by the legendary potter of Kyoto ware Nonomura Ninsei, and the Tekagami Kanbokujo, one of Japan’s three best known calligraphic albums, together with a selection of masterpieces of each genre of arts. The plum orchard which stands adjacent to the museum will also be in its best season of full blossoms.
