The Ruskin & Morris Center of Osaka was founded in 2005 by Mr. Norio Tsuyuki. In the last five years, a group of volunteer members came together in the wake of the bicentennial of Ruskin’s birth, and we have been holding events related to Ruskin, mainly in Kyoto and Osaka, such as reading discussion sessions and a symposium to learn about Ruskin’s ideas.
In this virtual presentation, we will give an overview of Ruskin’s influence on Japanese art and culture. We will also introduce our center’s recent programs and activities. Finally, we will lead attendees on a virtual tour of the Ruskin & Morris Center of Osaka, where you will view the valuable Ruskin materials in our collection.
