Kimono as Art: The Landscapes of Itchiku Kubota

An astonishingly beautiful exhibition has just opened in Canton, Kimono as Art: The Landscapes of Itchiku Kubota (1917–2003). Kimono are treated as brilliantly textured canvases celebrating the exquisite beauty of nature. About 25 kimono placed side by side portray the changing seasons of autumn and winter in a Symphony of Light. The San Diego Times praised it as “the best exhibit of the year”.

$10 adults; $7 seniors and students; children under 12 free
