Latest on Nezu MuseumA special event taking place at Tokyo's Nezu Museum looks at Korin Ogata's (1657-1716) "Irises", a pair of six-panel folding screens which are designated as National Treasures of Japan. The screens were created using just two types of paint, and the color scheme of gold, blue, and green is often said to be representative of the Edo Period.
Along with displaying Korin Ogata's "Irises", the exhibition will also showcase a range of other works in the same color scheme, including sutras copied in gold pigment on indigo-colored paper, paintings which have blue, green, and gold as the dominant colors, and even pottery pieces.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1600 yen on the day, or 1500 yen for advance online bookings.

Nezu Museum is located approximately 5 minutes on foot from the Tokyo Metro's Omotesando Station, served by the Ginza, Chiyoda, and Hanzomon lines. The closest exit to the museum is A5.
Parking at the museum is extremely limited (less than 10 spaces), so utilizing public transportation where possible is highly advisable.
