The Japanese art curator at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Ann Nishimura Moss, has realized a 20-year plan to bring the "Nanto Buddhist Paintings" exhibition to Nara. Moss, a fourth-generation Japanese American born in Texas, earned a Harvard degree in Buddhist painting and has worked on cataloging roughly 100,000 pieces of Japanese art at the museum. The exhibition, hosted by the Nara National Museum, showcases national treasures and other precious Buddhist paintings, aiming to re-evaluate Japanese art and share its cultural and historical context with both domestic and international audiences. Moss’s role bridges Japanese and American art worlds, emphasizing careful preservation, restoration, and sharing of these works.
