THE ART OF JAPAN
The Mead Art Museum at Amherst College opens two exhibits of Japanese art this weekend. “Fifty Years of Showa Japan” features the work of photographer Kageyama Koyo, who captured Tokyo’s changing face from the late 1920s to its development into a global metropolis in the 1970s. “Nature, Pleasure, Myth” explores the appearance of animals in different genres of Japanese woodblock prints, textiles and fashionable objects. Through June 28.
