Artist Talk & Reception, Princeton Public Library

Thursday May 14, 2026
6:00 PM

Princeton Public Library is hosting Spirits Among Us: Yokai Paintings by Minako Ota, a two-month exhibition of 25 original paintings exploring the world of yokai—supernatural beings from Japanese folklore. The exhibition will be on view from May 1 through June 26, 2026, in the Library's second-floor Reading Room.

Minako Ota, a Japan-born local artist, has in recent years focused on painting animals, developing them within her own distinct visual language. Since last year, she has turned her attention to yokai, drawing inspiration from classical Japanese literature and visual traditions.

An opening reception will be held on May 14 at 6:00 PM in the Community Room, featuring an artist talk by Minako.

Dylan Gottlieb’s exquisite recounting leaves no doubt that the yuppie takeover of New York began a more unequal chapter in American life?one we continue writing today.
