Kimono Unfolded - JAPANESE CULTURE REFLECTED IN HINA DOLLS. 7:PM Artist Fumino Hora, a native of Tokyo, will introduce her works of art and the historical and cultural background behind them in a power-point presentation. The history of 'Hina" goes back to the 17th Century. Traditionally, Japanese parents bought the set of dolls upon the birth of their daughter. After marriage, the girl was allowed to take the dolls to her husband's house. The elegant dollhouse represented the parents' ideal of their daughter's happiness. Is there a contradiction between the identity of the female and the preservation of traditions? When women wish to improve the status of their lives, do beautiful traditions fade away? Fumino's stunning sculptures explore these and more questions. Members free, non-members $5.00. See the Museum's website for more details.

Fumino Hora's work can be found at Art Loft Gallery,
Mendelson Gallery  in Pittsburgh, 
and 10 Chancery Lane Gallery in Hong Kong,
