Ink and Gold: Art of the Kano

The Kano family built a creative dynasty that shaped Japanese artistic excellence for over 400 years. "Ink and Gold: Art of the Kano" presents more than 120 works, including large-scale paintings of animals, figures, and landscapes set against lustrous gold leaf, evoking power and grandeur with beauty and the finest craftsmanship. It is the first exhibition outside Japan to fully examine the Kano legacy as Japan’s most influential and enduring school of painters, preeminent from the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries.
