"The New Acquisitions" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Kyoto National Museum

Moshiogusa (literally, "brinish seaweed") is one of the Kyoto National Museum's best-known tekagami (album of exemplary calligraphy) with many segments from celebrated calligraphic works, such as the Takano-gire and the Hon'ami-gire. This exhibition presents the museum's newly acquired counterpart Komonjo tekagami (Album of Early Documents), which contains eighty-eight folios. This album is unique in that it contains only early documents, rather than a selection of calligraphic works. This compilation is also historically significant in that almost all the folios, except for three, have been mounted in their entirety because of the large format of the album.
