| Japanese art is especially strong at the Johnson Museum. Major hanging scrolls,
handscrolls, and screens by such artists as Kano Tsunenobu, Rosetsu, Taikan
Monju, Shiokawa Bunrin, Tani Buncho, and Yasui Moritsune are joined in the
galleries by important ceramics from a variety of periods and cultures,
including the Jomon and Haniwa. A special part of the collection is a group
of contemporary Japanese ceramics by Sato Kazuhiko, Takahara Satoshi, and
other artists. In addition, the Museum is rich in Japanese decorative arts,
including fans, mirrors, netsukes in various media, lacquerware, and sword
fittings, including many tsubas. The Museum also possesses more than 500
color woodcuts from the Ukiyo-e school, highlighted by works by Hiroshige
and Hokusai. |
