A delicate
kesa, the Buddhist ritual cloak, next to a minimal
kimono made of knotted rope; the imposing structure of
samurai armour next to videos of the performances Umbrella dance and In the garden;
the nineteenth-century wooden prints in dialogue with photographs depicting kabuki actors: in the MAO’s
new Japanese gallery redesign, which brings together works from the permanent collections and works by the Japanese artist Kazuko Miyamoto, different eras and languages coexist, offering distant but collateral points of view on recurring and layered themes and symbols.
