Gallery LabelWhat do the changes of the seasons mean to you? In Japan, they reflect not only the passage of time, but also the fleeting nature of life and one’s existence in the world. Artists distilled features of the natural world into specific scenes or recurring symbolic motifs to encourage reflection on one’s life.
