Turning Point: Oribe and the Arts of Sixteenth-Century Japan
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Online presentation of a 2003-2004 exhibition that "explores the genesis of the dramatic stylistic changes in Japanese art during the brief but brilliant Momoyama period (1573–1615), which witnessed the struggles of ambitious warlords for control of the long-splintered country and Japan’s first encounter with the West. ... Serving the last two leaders [of the period] as warrior and tea master—or cultural adviser—was Furuta Oribe (1543/44–1615), who left an indelible mark on the aesthetics of the period." Featuring related artworks with descriptions, organized by medium (genre painting on folding screens and hanging scrolls; ceramics for the tea ceremony; lacquerware; and tsujigahana textiles for garments worn by the society's elite). Images and maps available in the publication of the exhibit.
