The Japanese Legacy Symposium IV in New York
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2019 1:14 pm
We would like to take this opportunity to announce that the Japanese Armor Society has booked the next Japanese Legacy Symposium to take place at New York's venerable Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday, September 13th.
We have chosen this date because for Japanese and Asian art collectors, the week of September 06-14th is a big week, with all of the top auction houses (Sotheby's, Christies and Bonhams) all having their big fall exhibitions and auctions during this time. With any luck, one of these auction houses may even bring back their Arts of the Samurai auctions. We are still in the midst of confirming the curriculum of the symposium itself, but as always we are expecting it to be as revelatory and educational as past editions, with lectures by some of the top scholars in the field of Japanese armor.
Although the symposium is created for the benefit of our members, the invitation is open to non-members by way of a special fee. At this time, costs of the symposium have yet to be finalized and will be determined by overall attendance, but we are asking that if your are interested in attending, to please indicate your interest here, or by sending an email to jas@japanese-armor.org.
