American audiences will have the rare opportunity to see outstanding examples of the work of the celebrated early seventeeth-century Japanese artist Honami Koetsu (15581637) in the first-ever comprehensive survey of the artists work outside Japan in the exhibition and accompanying catalogue The Arts of Honami Koetsu: Japanese Renaissance Master, published by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Nearly 100 objects ranging from calligraphy, handscrolls, and printed books to ceramic teabowls and lacquerwork will be drawn from collections throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States. A spectacular 27-foot-long scroll decorated with gold and silver wood-block designs of ivy, grasses, and wisteria, and brushed with classical Japanese love poems in Koetsus calligraphy, the newest addition to the Museums collections of East Asian art, will also be on view. This multi-talented genius inspired his contemporaries and exerted profound influence on generations to come by revolutionizing the visual effects of classical poetry scrolls, working with the artist Tawaraya Sotatsu to produce striking designs, over which he wrote his distinctively bold calligraphy. Koetsus interest in calligraphy led him to design beautiful lacquer boxes to hold the essential tools of East Asian writing: brush and inkstone. One such lacquer box, with a characteristically bold motif of a single deer on a striking gold and black background is in the collection of the Museum and will also be featured in the catalogue.
