The Edo period (1603-1867) experienced Japanese long-lasting peace, prosperity and a cultural golden age. The exhibition opens up a rare insight into traditions that are a fundamental part of modern Japan. The West has for centuries seen Japan as a distant and unfamiliar land. The fascination extends from images of heroic samurai struggling to dream about geisha and other beautiful women. Chapters on Tokaido - the main road from Edo to Kyoto, the time of the Edo Period, laquer and works on laquer, Fuji-san, samurais, sports of war, Ishikawa Jozan, tea, Chonin - city life, fashion and clothing, painting during the Edo Period, religion, cultural life, caligraphy, superstition, ceramics, Washi - Japanese handmade paper, food, Japonism in Denmark, Japanese contemporary inspiration and much more.
