IWOG warmly invites its members to a series of ten lessons on Japanese art, led by our amazing art historian member, Amalia Spiliakou.

Over the course of the program, we will explore the visual culture of Japan from its earliest expressions to the present day. Along the way, we will encounter the serene world of Buddhist sculpture and temple architecture, the quiet elegance of Zen ink painting and the tea ceremony, the vibrant colors of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, and the ways Japanese aesthetics have shaped, and been shaped by, the art of the West.

Each lesson will offer a fresh perspective on the ideas, beliefs, and craftsmanship behind these remarkable works.

The lessons take place every other Wednesday at 11:00 am at the American Farm School Library at Princeton Hall. Lessons start on the following dates:

📅 7 and 21 October

📅 4 and 18 November

📅 2, 16 and 30 December…

Whether you are a longtime admirer of Japanese culture or encountering it for the first time, you are most welcome to join us.
