    Default Art of the Samurai: Selections from the Tokyo National Museum

    FYI, in case you're in Southern California or plan to visit between now and mid-June:


    Art of the Samurai: Selections from the Tokyo National Museum
    April 18 – June 14, 2009

    Bowers Museum
    2002 North Main Street
    Santa Ana, CA 92706
    714.567.3600

    Art of the Samurai: Selections from the Tokyo National Museum features 81 objects from the Tokyo National Museum representing a wealth of artworks related to the everyday, traditional, and official role of the Samurai class of Japan. Focusing on the art and aesthetics of Samurai culture, the exhibition features a wealth of objects that are a testament to the accomplished level of society, education, and mastery of skills the Samurai developed between the 10th and 20th centuries. Included are beautifully crafted swords, armor, tea-ceremony utensils, screen and scroll paintings, Noh theatre costumes, and other fine works. This outstanding collection dates primarily to the Edo period (1603–1868) with many pieces classified as Important Cultural Property and National Treasures of Japan.
