Uehara Museum is hosting exhibitions featuring spring flower paintings and newly acquired Buddhist art.Summary
The Uehara Museum is presenting two special exhibitions: one focusing on flower paintings evoking the gentle arrival of spring, and another showcasing newly acquired Buddhist art. The Modern Art Gallery's exhibition, "Hana, Haru meku" (Flowers, Blooming in Spring), centers around Yokoyama Taikan's "Yozakura" (Night Cherry Blossoms) and features various paintings of spring flowers like cherry blossoms, tulips, and plum blossoms. The Buddhist Art Gallery's exhibition, "Kochi Fukaba Bukkyo Tozen" (When the East Wind Blows, Buddhism Spreads Eastward), highlights newly acquired and first-time public display pieces, notably the "Kegon-kyo Dankan (Nigatsudo Shokyo)" from the Nara period, a silver-script sutra on indigo paper salvaged from a fire. These exhibitions run from January 24 to May 18, 2026, and will be held without closure during the period.
