Liang Yi Museum is pleased to present The Other Japan: Beyond Kimonos and Swords, the largest exhibition on Japanese decorative art ever presented by Liang Yi Museum. With over 260 sets of Japanese works of art selected from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition offers a window into the rich visual culture of Japan from the isolationist Edo period, to the early modern era where European ideas were absorbed into traditional culture.

​

As the title suggests, the exhibition examines objects beyond the more "typical" Japanese works of art such as kimonos and swords. This exhibition is viewed through the lens of three social classes as represented by their figureheads: the samurai, the emperor, and the chōnin.

 

The exhibition is supported by The Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong.
