Exhibition Highlights
The name of this feature exhibition is a reference to the Japanese idiom “an array of fine individuals,” which is derived from the verse “Numerous is the array of officers, and by them King Wen enjoys his repose,” from Major Court Hymns of King Wen in The Classic of Poetry, the oldest existing collection of Chinese poems and songs.
Visitors will be able to appreciate fine tea utensils representing two styles of tea ceremony, the Japanese tea ceremony and the Chinese-style sencha tea ceremony.
