The Tokyo National Museum is pleased to present the exhibition, Gorgeous Maki-e Lacquerware from the Edo Period, in commemoration of the founding of the Museum a hundred and thirty years ago.

Maki-e, the subject of this present exhibition, refers to works of lacquer decorated with designs made by sprinkling with gold and silver particles, or even fine powder. This technique became popular in the Heian period, made rapid developments in the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, and reached its peak in the Edo period. Kõetsu and Kõrin who became world famous for their bold designs, Hara Yöyūsai whose name functioned like a designer name for elite ware, and the artists who honed their skills while working as retainers for daimyo military lords—these are among the finest lacquerware artists active during the Edo period. It is hoped the viewer will apprehend the soul of Edo period maki-e through this opportunity to see the actual works in person.

Through our modern lifestyle, lacquerware has become removed from our everyday lives. This is a wonderful opportunity to review the art of our forebears and it is hoped that the viewer will experience a renewed appreciation of lacquerware.

We would like to extend our appreciation to all of the many people who contributed to the success of this exhibition and to those at home and abroad who lent their precious works.
