A Lecture by Marie Conte-Helm

During the Edo period, the arts of Japan flourished in richness and diversity. With the rise of the merchant class and the growth of cities such as Edo (modern-day Tokyo), a new vitality was injected into traditional art forms, giving rise to exciting new developments in the visual and performing arts. This lecture will consider the arts of the period; from castle architecture and golden screen painting to lacquerware and netsuke and how the influence filtered to the West.

Where & When: The Sacred Heart Church Hall on Wednesday 11th June at 8 pm (coffee from 7.30 pm). Also available on Zoom.

Tickets: Members free. Visitors & guests: £10
