Detail: This year marks fifty years since the donation of the Ueno Collection - the nucleus of the museum's Chinese paintings and calligraphies. Included in this generous gift is the celebrated album of rubbings from the Song steles engraved with the calligraphy by Wang Xizhi, which is the most famous example of Wang Xizhi's Seventeen Books of Exemplary Calligraphy. To commemorate this major milestone, this masterpiece along with other related works will be exhibited. We hope visitors to the museum will take this opportunity enjoy the subtle beauty of Chinese paintings and calligraphies.
