The Brooklyn Museum is unique among American museums in being able to assemble such a comprehensive exhibition of Japanese folk art from its own permanent collection. Included in the exhibition are paintings, sculpture, ceramics, furniture, lacquer, textiles, toys, Okinawan folk art and Ainu artifacts (the Ainu are aborigines living on Hokkaido, the large northern island of the Japanese archipelago). The objects date mostly from the late Edo (1615-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) Periods, that are roughly 1800-1910. ย
