Painted over 800 years ago and passed down at the Kosan-ji, a temple in the tranquil mountains of Kyoto, The Scrolls of Frolicking Animals is one of the most famous works in the history of Japanese painting and considered a National Treasure. All four handscroll volumes, which are believed to have inspired the creation of manga, will be displayed during the exhibition period alongside fragments from the main scrolls and copies of the lost originals.
There will also be a VR program screening the first of the four scrolls, providing detailed and easy-to-follow explanations of the fantastical world of animals unfolded by the meticulously painted scrolls.
