The showing of the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum exhibition “Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers: Exhibition of Flowers in Art from Tokyo Fuji Art Museum Collection” was originally slated to premiere on May 2 but regrettably has been postponed due to the pandemic. The exhibition introduces the finest representations of Nature’s floral majesty, including paintings, crafted objects and photographs, in our collection. The following are but a few of such examples:
- “Anemone,” a watercolor and gouache work by the multitalented French artist Raoul Dufy (1877-1953)
- “Cherry Blossoms in the Shin-Yoshiwara Courtesan’s District,” a color woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni (1769-1825)
- “White Tubular Cup with Design of Flowers” and “White Dish with Design of Flowers,” two 17th-century ceramic pieces created in Iznik, Turkey
- “Yugashima, Izu,” a color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957)
