'A fleeting bloom' celebrates the classic arts of Japan. Magnificent folded screens,
ceramics, photography and paintings capture moments of distinct and transient
beauty though seasonal aspects of nature, the passages of history and the
philosophies of transcendence and impermanence that underpin forms of Buddhist
art. Drawn from the Gallery’s rich Collection, the exhibition features key works that
acknowledge the recent generous bequest by the late James Fairfax AC.
