Posted by Marcus Rosengren 26 Apr At home in Japan - Beyond the Minimal House

With the recent disastrous events in Japan, this new exhibition at the Geffrye Museum could not be timelier. ‘At home in Japan’ re-evaluates contemporary Japanese life through an ethnographic lens examining a variety of aspects of the home – from furniture and interior to tatami mats and shrines to dead relatives – recreating a typical Japanese home where traditional and modern merge behind closed doors. You are encouraged to handle the objects in the display (especially the kimonos in a conspicuous drawer in the bedroom).
