All speakers, as well as the biwa player, are world¨s top quality - most excellent presentation ( though hurried by limited Met lecture time). Joyed and honoured to witness. Thanks!

Thank you Met! My favorite museum in the world, and now with one of the greatest collections of Japanese art in the US. This is a beautiful video of an introduction to the Met's collection on this subject. The discussion and the quality of the images are excellent.
