Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Capturing the Haiku Moment in Nature, Art, and Poetry curriculum is a series of lessons designed for 2nd–12th grade students to “awaken their senses” within the natural world. The lessons are rooting in the Japanese cultural value of Living in Harmony with Nature and find expression in the Japanese poetic form of haiku and in Japanese art.

| Cultivating Enlightenment: The Manifold Meaning of Japanese Zen Gardens |
|
| Education About Asia
|
An excellent visual and narrative introduction to Japanese Zen, and perhaps its most iconic symbols. While Zen gardens have been a fixture of Japanese aesthetics since the Muromachi Period (1336–1573), the purposes and meanings of these austere landscapes have been far less fixed, and indeed have changed somewhat since their first appearance as places for meditation in the Zen temples of medieval Japan. ...The image of the Zen garden, however,... “speaks” for itself, and provides us with a representation of spiritual quality that is best experienced rather than discursively argued. This is only appropriate since the transmission of Zen wisdom is supposed to be nonverbal. With PDF download.

| Encountering the Buddha: Art and Practice across Asia |
|
| National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution
|
Buddhism—and the art it inspired—helped shape the cultures of Asia. Today, its extraordinary art is a source of beauty and contemplation for audiences across the world.Encountering the Buddha brings together more than two hundred artworks, spanning two millennia, to explore Asia’s rich Buddhist heritage. They represent diverse schools that arose from the Buddha’s teachings.Throughout the exhibition and the website, we explore how Buddhist artworks are endowed with sacred power. We ask, why were they created? How did Buddhists engage with them? And how do Buddhist understandings of such objects differ from those of art museums?
