This page periodically covers botanical art exhibitions in countries in Asia. I'm hoping to extend coverage to ALL countries where botanical art occurs but this depends on being notified of exhibitions.
Past botanical exhibitions in China, Japan, South Korea and Jordan can be viewed on the ARCHIVE PAGE. |
If you have an exhibition which deserves to be highlighted please contact me with the details - please see the form at the bottom of the page.
The banner image is from the exhibition flyer for the exhibition by the Korean Botanical Artists Cooperative at Beijing Botanical Garden (see below). |

Kew’s resident botanical artist, Masumi Yamanaka’s astoundingly detailed painting – Miracle Pine – will also be on display. A particularly poignant work, this painting depicts the lone miracle pine which became a symbol of hope in Japan as the only surviving tree out of 70,000 in the town of Rikuzentakata after the devastating tsunami hit Japan on 11th March 2011. First presented to the then Japanese Ambassador, Mr Keiichi Hayashi, at the Japanese Embassy in London (8 March 2016), this gesture marked the five year anniversary of the Tohoku earthquake and the lasting relationship between Kew Gardens and Japan.
