Old Maps; Expansion! Around the World with Ancient Western Maps

Regular Exhibition

Old Maps; Expansion! Around the World with Ancient Western Maps

June 9, 2018 (Sat.) – July 29 (Sun.)

European cartography began and reached its height between the 16th and 17th century. Map-making was originally centered in Amsterdam and shifted to Paris over time. Maps were progressively updated as explorers crossed the oceans in search of new continents and returned to Europe with new discoveries. Maps represented an evolution of how people perceived the world as they reached outward with their imaginations.
As scholarly advances were made in such areas as astronomy and geography, so too did technological change come, changing map-making in fundamental ways, including the detail of what was represented in maps. The “Expansion" in the title of the exhibit refers to the expanding world as it appeared on paper, and how people were stimulated by the desire to know the unknown—motifs embodied in the world of cartography. The exhibition offers a close look at ancient maps to see how world maps evolved between the 16th and 19th centuries, which can also provide insight into how people’s world views changed during that time.

The Tosa School and Sumiyoshi School—The Majesty and Wit of Yamatoe

October 13, 2018 (Sat.) – December 2 (Sun.)

This exhibition will be held in connection with exhibitions at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art (in 2017) and Sakai City Museum (October 2018). The exhibition focuses on the Tosa School of painters and the Sumiyoshi School, a later branch in the Momoyama period, both of which had been based in the Izumi area. The two schools were devoted to yamatoe, paintings specializing in techniques derived from ancient Japanese art. Much of the subject matter came from stories and waka poems, and the compositions used rich coloring. This exhibition provides an overview of yamatoe, and how it changed from the Muromachi to Edo periods, with a focus on the painters Tosa Mitsunori and Sumiyoshi Jokei, who had roots in the Izumi region.

Lacquerware—A Fascination with Color and Luster

Regular Exhibition

Lacquerware—A Fascination with Color and Luster

December 15, 2018 (Sat.) – December 24 (Mon. holiday) and January 5, 2019 (Sat.) – January 27 (Sun.)

Approximately 60 antique lacquerware objects from Japan and China from the museum collection will be on display. There is a long history of handicrafts made with lacquer, dating back to the Neolithic age in China and the Jomon period in Japan. Lacquer dries hard to form a waterproof seal while providing a beautiful luster. For such reasons it was used in a variety of ways—on ordinary vessels for eating and drinking, tea utensils, personal ornaments, stationery, and implements and adornments for temples and shrines. Visitors will see objects made from a single lacquer color, black or vermillion, lacquerware sprinkled with gold or silver dust, even mother-of-pearl lacquerware with bright blues and reds.
