The Zen of Hakuin, Produced by Studio Ghibli

Preview: written before the show opened

Hakuin painted a textbook Daruma, fierce stare and all, then wrote beside it that anyone who takes this face for the patriarch's is a cat that doesn't catch mice. It is one of about 50 works by the 18th-century Zen monk here. Kyoto's New Year stalls sell daruma dolls with the same glare, minus the warning.

The curator, Hakuin scholar Yoshizawa Katsuhiro, argues that Hakuin's pictures, each catching one moment with an inscription beside it, read like anime storyboards. So between the scrolls, video supervised by Studio Ghibli enlarges them and sets them moving in a space built to surround you. Thirty-one works come from Shinshoji, a Hiroshima temple. You need no Zen to follow it: the organisers pitch it at people who have never heard of Hakuin.

It fills the Higashiyama Cube for under four weeks, and the museum shuts 28 December to 2 January. Adults pay ¥1,700 at the door or ¥1,500 in advance; a two-adult pair ticket is ¥2,800 until 16 December.
