November 13 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
The Japanese imperial family has been collecting artworks continuously from the Nara period (710–794), and they have been preserved in the Shōsōin Repository. Various works of fine and decorative art collected since the Meiji Restoration (1868) are respected as gyobutsu (imperial treasures). This talk will introduce the formation and history of the imperial collection and the current state of the Imperial Household Collection.
