Matsuri! Japanese Festival Arts
The joyously chaotic Shinto-Buddhist festivals known as matsuri are times of recounting history, procuring the blessings of the deities for a prosperous year, and building camaraderie with friends and neighbors. Featuring more than 250 exuberant textiles and works of art - including festive dress, sculptures, screens, shrine adornments, and banners - this exhibition will envelop you in the pageantry of matsuri.
