The Nezu Museum in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, will present 'Characters in Art' as the 7th installment of its popular series 'First Steps in Ancient Art Appreciation.' Running from May 30 to July 12, 2026, the exhibition focuses on text elements within artwork—such as artist signatures, seals, and inscriptions—rather than standalone calligraphy. Highlights include the rare simultaneous display of four related 'Mirror Mountain Map' works and Important Cultural Properties. This exhibition aims to bridge the gap between contemporary audiences and the perceived complexity of East Asian ancient art.
