Cocktail & Tour

Often playful, sometimes comical, and always profound, Zen paintings represent one of the world’s most fascinating religious and artistic traditions. None Whatsoever: Zen Paintings from the Gitter-Yelen Collection explores the origins of Zen Buddhism through over four centuries of ink paintings and calligraphies by painter-monks, who expressed Zen Buddhist teachings through their art, including the celebrated Buddhist master Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768).

Japan Society’s Gallery team cordially invite Giving Circle members to join us for cocktail and private tour of the exhibition. Patron Circle members and above are cordially invited to attend. RSVP required; space is strictly limited.
