The 80 objects in the exhibition include small civilian and military design objects, books, scrolls, postcards, games, posters, ephemera, and textiles from the Sino-Japanese Wars, Russo-Japanese War, and the periods of peace between.

| The Japan Craze and Western Art 1880-1920 | |
![]() |
Date: Now through August 2010 Japan emerged from 250 years of self-imposed isolation as a dazzling light of inspiration. Fascination with the art of Japan grew rapidly in the late nineteenth century and greatly influenced art and style in the West. Japanese compositional and formal characteristics in fact played a central role in the development of modern Western art. Like Europeans of the period, American designers produced Japanese-inspired decorative objects of all kinds. This vignette might be a contemporary room of someone who is much taken with that moment around 1900 when Japanese concepts of form, color, texture, and space were new and very fashionable.

| Elegance in Iron: The Art of the Japanese Tetsubin | |
![]() |
Date: September 29 - December 6 Where: The Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens 4000 Morikami Park Rd., Delray Beach, FL 33446 In 18th century Kyoto, literary men with an interest in Chinese learning rebelled against the formalized manner of the Japanese tea ceremony and took up the Chinese habit of drinking steeped tea. By century's end, this act of defiance had led to the development of the tetsubin, the Japanese cast-iron teakettle. This exhibition draws from the outstanding collection of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kramer and features more than 90 tetsubin from the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the affluence of the urban merchant class, which had begun to enjoy steeped tea as well, supported the cost of producing tetsubin with raised decoration and inlays of precious metals. Elegance in Iron showcases the variety in shape and surface decoration of Kyoto tetsubin while also featuring kettles of northern Japan's Nambu region, where a folk tradition, little affected by Kyoto culture, fostered a dynamic aesthetic in iron tea kettles that complemented the region's robust lifestyle. Exhibition of Elegance in Iron is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation and the Mary Livingston Griggs and Mary Griggs Burke Foundation.
