The art of the remote Kingdom of Bhutan teems with motifs derived from the Vajrayana school of Buddhism. Divine beings depicted in Bhutanese art were each assigned their own special shapes, colors, and identifying objects during ancient times, such as lotus flowers and thunderbolts. Bhutan is a country known for its fierce protectiveness of ancient traditions, including its more traditional forms of creative expression that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. This exhibition presents an array of approximately 130 precious artworks from Bhutan in three parts: popularity of the Bhutani royal family, Buddhism in Bhutan, and lifestyles in Bhutan. Don’t miss this opportunity to view this large collection of rare pieces, on display in Japan for the first time.
