"View of the Prairie on Decorated Paper"

In this exhibition of Japanese Art from the New Orleans Museum of Art's permanent collection, flowers and birds abound—a theme popular during the Edo (1615–1868) and Meiji (1868–1912) periods, and one that endures into the modern era. Whether through form, decoration, or color, these works of art embody the natural world's diversity and intrigue through a variety of traditional methods. On display until December 30, 2019. noma.org.
