Shokkan Japanese Art Through the Sense at ROM

Apr 4, 2026 @ 10:00 am - Sep 6, 2026 @ 05:30 pm

To truly appreciate Japanese art, one must feel it.

This groundbreaking ROM-original exhibition explores the profound connection between Japanese objects and the human sense of touch, known as shokkan—a vital element in the creation and appreciation of Japanese art. Transcending the tactile sensations felt at the fingertips, shokkan is the combination of memories, language, and other senses like sight and sound.
