This exhibition explores diverse portrayals of wildlife in an eclectic range of genres.
Creatures of all shapes and sizes permeate our world, inspiring artists with their behaviors and habitats—fish darting through the water, insects hiding in the undergrowth, and small mammals scurrying through fields and mountains. Figurines and everyday objects are often fashioned into such furred and feathered subjects to delight and amuse the viewer, with smaller creatures being a particular favorite.
Wild Wonders is a celebration of animal-themed objects preserved by the Imperial Household, including paintings, calligraphy, and decorative arts. In addition to Japanese art, the exhibition features pieces from around the world that have been gifted to members of the Imperial Family in the course of their duties. These powerful and endearing works offer a colorful reminder of the universal value and majesty of life.
