[Video] "Counting Song of Ancient Art - Works with Numbers in Their Names" at Nezu Museum until July 15
Summary
The Nezu Museum is hosting the special exhibition, "Counting Song of Ancient Art - Works with Numbers in Their Names," from June 1st to July 15th. This exhibition focuses on works across various genres, including calligraphy, painting, ceramics, and lacquerware, where numbers appear in the titles, offering a new entry point for appreciation and understanding. The numbers in the titles often denote specific characteristics, such as the form of a flower vase ("Ichi-jū-giri"), the shape of a vessel ("Yohachi" for square), philosophical concepts ("Gotoku" for five virtues), or cultural events ("Tanabata" for the Star Festival). Additionally, two concurrent exhibitions are being held: "Edo to Tokyo - Craftsmanship Rushing Through" and "Tea Ceremony in Late Summer."
