About the Exhibition

This is a beauty's message Japanese paper send beyond time and space.
It was V.O.C.(Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) that introduced this beautiful paper
to Europe in 17th Century
And eventually that caused a movement called Japonism in 19th Century.

to connect the past and the future by working it into modern arts.
