In the autumn of 2026, the Tokyo National Museum will host the special exhibition "Daitoku-ji Temple: The Unrivaled Zen Garden of Japan." This highly anticipated exhibition brings together the treasures of Daitoku-ji Temple, which is celebrating its 700th anniversary, featuring 14 National Treasures and 69 Important Cultural Properties.
This time, we'll take a close look at the highlights to enhance your enjoyment of the exhibition, from masterpieces of the Kano school—from Kano Motonobu, Shoei, and Eitoku—to the ceiling paintings of Hasegawa Tohaku, the works of Muqi (who greatly influenced Japanese ink painting), and the Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl. Let's explore the 700-year history of Daitoku-ji Temple and the charm of Japanese art that has been nurtured within it.
