This latest exhibition features over 80 pieces including kimono, metalwork, enamel, and textiles, formed entirely from the Khalili Collection of Japanese art, including some of the most important pieces produced during the Meiji period. Marking the first major public display of kimono from the Collection, the exhibition explores the relationship these garments bear to other masterpieces of Meiji, as well as themes varying from myths, legends, and nature to social status, gender, and class.
