China, Korea, and Japan: Sovereign but Reciprocal
1:00 pm–2:30 pm
For centuries, China, Korea, and Japan have shared, influenced, and borrowed freely from each other’s artistic impulses and cultural principles, generating a fertile exchange of religious arts, technical innovations, luxury goods, and global interaction. Yet within this dynamism each culture maintains its distinctive integrity, unique style, and separate identity. In this Looking Together, explore the visual clues that uncover the rich web of synergies, polarities, and time-honored traditions playing across time and geography.
