What / Why :

The Dolls of Japan Exhibition 

 

Japanese dolls: Beautiful pieces of art that display exquisite craftsmanship and the unique cultural heritage of Japan

 
"Dolls" have been a part of everyday life in Japan since ancient times. Apart from being examples of the high level of craftsmanship needed to produce such beautifully elaborate artifacts, these dolls also play a distinct role in Japanese culture at, for example, the Doll Festival and the Boys Festival. Japanese dolls can be categorized in many ways according to the techniques and material used to create them, as well as the themes and shapes of the dolls.
 
This exhibition will display 70 Japanese dolls according to different themes. For example, dolls used in the Doll Festival or Hina Matsuri, warrior dolls from the Boys’ Festival, dolls depicting characters from traditional Japanese performing arts like Noh, Bunraku and Kabuki, Hakata dolls or clay dolls, Kimekomi dolls or wooden dolls dressed in kimonos, dolls made by modern craftsmen, and Kokeshi dolls with their unique character.
