The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

Design elements referring to the seasons also play a role in the intricate visual language of kimono. Fabrics\, colors\, and designs in particular give physical embodiment to the four seasons and affect practical details such as weight\, number of layers\, and lining choices. For modern approaches to the art of traditional dress\, join us for a kimono fashion show that will present elegant kimono and obi created for various occasions and ages. Local kimono expert Minako Yamasaki will also demonstrate how to wear kimono and obi.

Dating from the 1930s through the end of the 20th century\, these garments trace changing fashions as the function of kimono changed over the course of time\, as well as the arc of a woman's lifetime from youth to maturity. The works in the exhibition are the generous gift of the Yamaguchi family\, and were made for and worn by a mother and daughter living in Tokyo.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan's Center for Japanese Studies\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Friends of the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, the Charles H. & Katharine C. Sawyer Endowment Fund\, The Japan Foundation\, New York\, the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, and the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation.
