Topic: Hanami- Viewing Cherry Blossom in Japanese Art
The revered sakura, or cherry blossom, has been celebrated in landscapes, figure paintings, and prints by artists from medieval Japan to Katsushika Hokusai and beyond. In the springtime, when the cherry flowers are blooming, you are invited to embrace hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of “flower viewing,” in this guided tour of the museum’s Japanese art collections!
