Hosomi Museum

This event has ended.

1000 years have passed since "the Tale of Genji" was written by Murasaki Shikibu. This exhibition introduces its genealogy along with artworks that depict scenes from the narrative.
The images of Genji have been the source of inspiration for Japanese arts and crafts, such as textiles and lacquer ware. This exhibition invites viewers into the world of Genji and its aesthetics that are based on the aristocratic culture during the Heian period.
