A major selection of historical and contemporary works from the Los Angeles-based Cotsen Collection are central to the exhibition, as well as a large-scale, interactive bamboo installation by Japan-based artist Akio Hizume. This exhibition is supported by The Japan Foundation, Los Angeles　国際交流基金ロサンゼルス日本文化センター, with additional support from the Pasadena Art Alliance. BAMBOO May 27 - September 9, 2018.
