Exhibition of Japanese masks entitled. "Gods, Men and Demons"

Everyone is invited to see the exhibition of Japanese masks entitled. "Gods, Men and Demons". which begins on Friday, October 31 at 9:00 a.m. and will run until November 9 at 5 p.m. The exhibition is held in the kyubu space in Building A.

This unusual exhibition transports visitors to the world of ancient Japanese temples, legends and rituals. The masks on display - once used in theater, rituals and processions - are shown in a space where light, shadow and sound weave into a single story of gods, humans and demons.

The exhibition activates three senses

Sight- The play of light, shadows and mirrors highlights the shapes, textures and emotions hidden in the carved faces of the masks.
Hearing - The mystical chanting of monks, sutras and sounds of traditional instruments create a sound space that introduces the atmosphere of Japan of old.
Scent - subtle aromas of incense and resins allude to the scent of temples, adding mystique and depth to the display.

By combining these three sensory dimensions, the reception of the exhibition becomes fuller and more intense. It is not just a display of masks - it is an encounter with a tradition in which the boundaries between the divine, the human and the demonic are blurred in the play of the senses and imagination
