The collections will be open from 14:00 ahead of the film screening at 15:00.

Nestled at the edge of the Circus, The Museum of East Asian Art is the only UK museum that focuses on the art of East and South-East Asia. Opened in 1993, the museum contains a whopping 2000 objects within its setting of a small Georgian townhouse. Known locally for their incredible collections, events and tea ceremonies, this is the perfect environment to view a classic film by a master of Japanese Cinema.

This screening of Yasujirō Ozu’s Late Spring (1949) takes place in the intimate setting of the museum’s third floor display. Following the woes of marriage and re-marriage, Late Spring belongs to the genre of Shōshimin-eiga (lower middle-class films), a genre Ozu pioneered. It is a stunning depiction of post-war realism and the first of the director’s ‘Noriko trilogy’

Independent Spirit of Bath welcomes you to the Museum of East Asian Art for this screening of Late spring, at the start of sakura season, with a glass of sake from their extensive range.

Tickets: £12/10
