At Kyoto National Museum
Media: Painting, Calligraphy
Daikaku-ji Temple, which is renowned as the "Saga Imperial Palace," underwent a major revival in 1307, when the retired emperor Gouda (1267-1324) became its abbot. Featured in the exhibition are treasures from Daikaku-ji, including the cloistered emperor's powerful yet playful calligraphic works and resplendent screen paintings by Kano Sanraku (1559-1635) that adorned the temple quarters.
