Imperial Palace

Paintings on sliding doors created in 1855 by court painter Tsurusawa Tanshin at the Kyoto Imperial Palace will be displayed to the public for the first time to mark the 170th anniversary of the palace's reconstruction. Five of the works, depicting legendary virtuous women from ancient China, will feature in an autumn special exhibition. An official from the Kyoto Office of the Imperial Household Agency described it as a rare chance to view the art in a normally closed hall.
