"Yasunari Kawabata and Kaii Higashiyama: The World of Resonant Beauty" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The Museum of Kyoto
Media: Painting
It is a well known fact that Yasunari Kawabata (1899-1972), a Nobel Prize winner in Literature, and Kaii Higashiyama(1908-99), a leading figure of Japanese painting, maintained a strong friendship. In recent years, letters of correspondence between them have been discovered. These documents have attracted much attention since they reveal personal exchanges between two major artists.
This exhibition follows the the Yasunari Kawabata exhibition held in 2002 that shed light on Kawabata as an art collector. This exhibition features letters and Kawabata's words, as well as artworks that he collected.
