Exhibition overview
The works in this exhibition range from fragrant oil containers from the ancient Orient to gorgeous porcelain and glass perfume bottles that added luster to modern European lifestyles. They also include utterly luxurious lacquer, porcelain, and metal incense burners and other implements associated with the traditional Japanese art of appreciating incense. The exhibition presents about 240 items carefully selected from the Takasago Collection, the superb collection of works of art related to perfumes and fragrances built by Takasago International Corporation over the span of many years. The history of fragrances and their containers is, it is said, as old as humanity. Experiencing this collection provides the ideal opportunity to savor the profound depths of the history and culture associated with fragrances old and new, from East and West. At the exhibition in Tokyo, additional works on loan from art museums in Japan will also be on display. These include portraits of aristocratic women that evoke perfumes, together with works that epitomize Art Deco. This exhibition offers an exceptional opportunity for visitors to experience directly the close association of containers for fragrances with painting and design from the same period.
