Special Exhibit on display October 5 through February 16, 2025.
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens will present Time Flows like Water: Works by Masumi Sakagami, a new exhibition featuring recent artwork by contemporary abstract artist, Masumi Sakagami.

Throughout the new exhibit, Ms. Sakagami balances the principles of Sōgetsu ikebana (flower arrangement)—a fresh approach, movement, balance, and harmony—with natural elements like sumi-e (charcoal) and gofun (ground oyster shells), and ancient removal techniques to unveil ethereal color palettes and dimensions.
On Saturday, October 12, at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., guests will have the opportunity to meet Masumi Sakagami during a special Calligraphy and Sumi-e Workshop. The master calligrapher and artist will discuss Japanese calligraphy and sumi-e ink painting techniques as well as her creative process and the inspiration behind her work. The cost is $65 per person.
This exhibition is presented in part by DMG Mori Co., LTD. and from the Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation.
The exhibit is free with paid museum admission.
