Until 27 January 2013. Many of us are aware of the beauty o f the traditional Japanese kimono. This exhibition introduces the less wellknown but equally spectacular ornamental textiles that were made for weste rn homes during Japan’s Meiji era (1868–1912). This was the famous period o f Japonisme, which saw the European Impressionist painters exploring theme s and styles taken from Japanese art, and Victorian rooms filled with Japa nese decorative arts and crafts. http://www.ashmolean.org/exhibitions/ti ckets/index.php?id=&go=y&he=581&wi=1366
