This special exhibit organized by the USF Center for the Pacific Rim and the Japan Society of Northern California showcases the refined elegance and extravagance of two distinct Asian empires. Japanese woodblock prints, which have traditionally explored themes of nature, spirituality and honor, are exhibited alongside Moghul miniature paintings — colorful portrayals of Indian courtly life that emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries. The reception includes Indian and Japanese delicacies and drinks, and part of the proceeds benefit the sponsoring non-profits.
