The Frist Art Museum presents Journey through Japan: Myths to Manga, an exhibition that shows how imagination, playfulness, and the environment have inspired Japan’s folklore, design, and technology through the centuries. Designed with our younger audience in mind, yet fun and fascinating for all ages, this exhibition goes on a colorful, atmospheric exploration through Japan to show how popular stories have shaped the country’s art, design, and technology across the centuries. Divided into four thematic sections—Sky, Sea, Forest, and City—it presents over 150 historic and contemporary objects, ranging from animated movies, origami, and ukiyo-e woodblock prints to Daruma dolls, robots, and youth fashion.
