As an integral member of the Mitsubishi Group of companies
-- a community of more than 40 independent corporations who share
a common heritage -- Mitsubishi Electric has played a major role
in the transformation of Japan into a modern nation with the world’s
second largest economy.
Although we may be known for some of the highest technological achievements
on the planet, we still revere the timeless traditions that have shaped
Japan’s distinctive cultural character and flavor.
“Imprints” is a celebration of that culture. It’s a
showcase of traditional concepts and artistic treasures that embody
the cultural legacy of an island nation populated by a naturally inquisitive
and curious people.
Some of the pieces being showcased have been made available by the
kind cooperation of the Seikado Bunko Library and Art Museum of Tokyo,
a collection of cultural artifacts begun more than a century ago by
members of the family who established the original Mitsubishi organization. |
