Why Daitoku-ji and ZEN NIGHT TOKYO matter in Japan
The Daitoku-ji Temple exhibition is important in Japan because Daitoku-ji brings together Zen, the tea ceremony and the history of Japan’s ruling class in one place. Daitoku-ji is a Zen temple in Kyoto and its history is connected to emperors, warlords of the Sengoku period and the tea master Sen no Rikyu. The monk Ikkyu, known to generations of families through storytelling and television is also part of the temple’s history.
The 700th anniversary exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum in Tokyo brings together 14 treasures and 69 important cultural properties, including items that are not usually shown to the public. The organizers say this is the time such a collection has been gathered in Tokyo. Japanese visitors would normally have to go to Kyoto to see this heritage in pieces.
ZEN NIGHT TOKYO adds something. The Tokyo National Museum Garden usually closes at 5pm. During this exhibition the garden stays open after dark with five historic tea houses around a pond, soft lighting and neuromusic a kind of music made to relax the mind. ZEN NIGHT TOKYO is perfect for Japanese audiences looking for time in autumn.
An overseas visitor, to Tokyo would want to go because Daitoku-ji treasures and a glowing autumn garden are not often seen together.
