Overview of Flowers and Birds Exhibitions

The flowers and birds depicted in Japanese art differ in a number of ways, including (1) their popularity with artists, (2) their symbolic meaning, (3) their habitat, (4) their geographic distribution, (5) their status (i.e., real versus fictitious species, domesticated versus wild, edible versus inedible), (6) their human companions and (7) their eye-catching characteristics. Each of these differences is the subject of one, or more, of the following virtual exhibitions:
