View online exhibition

This exhibition introduces two gems of UO’s collection of Japanese calligraphy: the album of calligraphy known as tekagami in the collection of the Knight Library Special Collections and UO Archives (SCUA), containing a total of 319 examples; and thirty-six individually mounted calligraphy fragments in the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. This digital exhibition is the result of a collaboration led by Akiko Walley (Maude I. Kerns Associate Professor of Japanese Art), the University of Oregon Libraries, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
