Exhibitions

For the first time in Israel, a large-scale, up-to-date exhibit of origami art is being held at the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art, in the city of Haifa.

This exhibition presents works by the renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, photographed and analyzed by Rudolf Klein, Professor of Architectural History.

Three types of instrument are used for performing traditional Japanese music drums, stringed instruments, and wind instruments (especially the flute).

The exhibition follows how Japanese artists, in particular those of the Edo era (1603-1868), depicted animals.

At the age of twelve, while rummaging through her father's library, Ruth Falk found a booklet containing Japanese poems of 17 syllables - haiku - in a German translation. She was amazed at how much can be said in only a few words, and her curiosity was aroused.
