Throughout history, in the field of art, especially painting, various attempts have been made to express changes in the weather in nature. In the East, the effects of brushes and ink, which were invented in China, were used to beautifully express natural phenomena such as changes in light and atmosphere, wind, rain, and clouds. Literati entrusted the ideal of seclusion to landscape paintings depicting deep mountains and valleys with vast, flowing clouds. In the 11th century, paintings such as the "Mie-ho Landscape Paintings" technique, which depicts clouds floating thickly at the foot of the mountains, and the "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang," which focuses on depicting landscapes that change from moment to moment depending on the weather and time of day, were born and became a theme that is widely loved in East Asia. Furthermore, various works were created that organically interact with motifs, such as those that depict scenes from famous Chinese poems and anecdotes, and those that symbolize the ideal form of humans by depicting plants that stand bravely against the wind and frost. Through paintings from China, the Korean peninsula, and Japan, this exhibition explores how the ever-changing weather has been expressed in East Asia.

Spring Outings

风起鹰鲨

Nara Station can take the bus, but after the city hall will be very traffic jam, it is recommended that the city hall get off, take the personal tunnel, a few hundred meters. The park is very large, there are a lot of deer along the way, it is the Spring Festival Club, and it is a toll attraction to go west to Ruocao Mountain. The journey takes about 20 minutes.

晓舟工作室

Going to Nara, if you don&#39;t go to Dongdaeji, it&#39;s a pity. Because you will miss the hall of the world&#39;s largest wooden structure, you will also miss the great opportunity to feel the charm of Tang Feng, and it is even more difficult to experience the joy of Liang Sicheng and other Chinese architectural masters who found Wutaishan Foguang Temple!

Kasugataisha Shrine

Near the highest point of Nara Park, it takes 20 minutes to get off the bus. There are many lights and many deer along the way. Pay attention to business hours and can&#39;t get in late. I have been to the Spring Festival Club, and I can go to Ruocao Mountain to watch the sunset. I must arrive before 17:00, otherwise the ticket clerk locks the door after get off work and can&#39;t get out.

Mount Wakakusa

Mountain climbing

The scenery is beautiful, you must buy tickets before 17:00, otherwise you can&#39;t get in. There are a lot of deer inside. Almost half of the Chinese compatriots in the tourists climb to the peak and watch the sunset. It is very pleasant. Walk carefully, the mountain is a bit steep, look good on the children, there is a bathroom inside, the import and export is different, go out to Dongda Temple.

Toshodaiji

VOVO逍遥行

It was built by the Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen in 759 AD and completed in 770 AD. It is the main temple of the Vinaya School of Japanese Buddhism. It is listed as one of the two major temples for the dissemination and research of Vinaya along with the Kaidan-in of Todaiji Temple. The banner on the gate of the temple, &quot;Tōshōdaiji&quot;, was written by the Japanese Empress Koken in the style of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. There are lecture halls and ordination platforms from the Tenpyō era, golden halls from the Nara era, and drum towers from the Kamakura era in the temple. The golden hall, sutra collection, drum tower, and statue of Jianzhen are known as national treasures. Jianzhen also brought the high level of civilization of the Tang Dynasty in China, and promoted the improvement of the level of Buddhism, medicine, architecture, and sculpture in Japan. In 1980 and 2010, the statue of Jianzhen returned to Yangzhou twice to &quot;visit relatives&quot;. In 1998, Toshōdaiji was listed as a World Cultural Heritage as an important part of the &quot;Cultural Heritage of the Ancient Capital of Nara&quot;.
