This unique exhibition—a partnership with Shiga, our sister state in Japan—heralds the opening of The Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in June 2015. From shigaraki pottery, to more delicate scrolls, screens, kimono, and functional objects, works on paper and in wood will change every two months, protecting the artifacts while providing guests with a new view of the exhibition. These rare objects follow one of several themes: the landscape of Shiga, beauty in daily life, the four seasons, portraiture, animals and birds, devotional imagery, among others. A video on Shiga, its art and culture, will play continuously and maps and other information about Shiga will be available to guests. [Exhibition will be temporarily closed March 23–27 and June 5–9 for changing of artifacts on display.]
