LACMA’s permanent collection of Japanese art reflects the interests of a group of individuals in Southern California who came to appreciate Japanese art and culture over the course of the 20th century, particularly in the post-WWII decades. See a selection of highlights in “Japanese Paintings and Prints: Celebrating LACMA’s 50th Anniversary,” on view through September 20.
