Natsu: A Japanese Summer June 1 to August 15, 2001 Scholten Japanese Art moves into summer with a timely exhibition entitled Natsu: A Japanese Summer. Just as all four seasons are very important in Japan, each resonating with its own special traditions and iconography, summer (or in Japanese natsu) is typically meaningful. Scholten Japanese Art invites you to view a collection of works that depict the summer season through either representation of typical clothing or activities, or by association through the relatively cooling aspects of fans or water. Perhaps just the sight of a lovely young woman in summer kimono depicted in a ukiyo-e print will provide a similar antidote to the New York summer. more info |
