Discovering Japanese Art: American Collectors and the Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

In the “Whose Sleeves” screens, figures have disappeared, leaving only a hint of their former presence amid garments draped over clothing stands. The garments depicted on this pair of screens reflect fashion trends of the late sixteenth through the early seventeenth century. See this 17th-century, narrative screen in “Discovering Japanese Art: American Collectors and the Met,” on view through September 27. ‪#‎AsianArt100‬
