Episode 24 brings us the art of the Japanese folding screen from the exhibition Beyond Golden Clouds: Japanese Screens from the Art Institute of Chicago and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Well explore traditional styles, motifs, subjects, and forms, and also discover contemporary examples of the Japanese screen breaking boundaries and redefining the art form. Two works are examined in close detail, Flowering Cherry and Autumn Maples with Poem Slips by Tosa Mitsuoki and Mountain Lake Screen Tachi by Okura Jiro, in a discussion weaving together tradition and innovation, antiquity and contemporary, banal and spiritual.

  • thanks, i really like how insightful your analysis is.. (:

  • I just recently created a video of Japanese haiku using Tosa Mitsuoki's lovely "Autumn Maples" screen for the background.

    --though it appears the poems on the slips are waka rather than hokku, from what I gather here!
