The theme of Stage 5 is "Japanese cultural properties located abroad." Two panels were created of folding screens from the collection of the Freer Gallery of Art: "Cherry blossoms", believed to have been created by Tawaraya Sotatsu, and "Cranes" by Ogata Korin.
Under the theme of "Cultural properties that open the door of history," 20 panels were created from the "Sliding Panels in the Abbot's Chambers at Kenninji Temple" (Important Cultural Properties in the possession of the Kenninji Temple) created by Kaiho Yusho.
The "Cherry blossoms" and "Cranes" folding screens will be used by the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum for educational purposes, and the sliding panels mentioned above will be on permanent display at Kenninji Temple.
