    Contemporary depictions of Iranian culture range from news footage to the Shahs of Sunset, but ages of literature are also available to open the doors to this culture.  HPR’sNoeTanigawa found a twenty-first century version of an epic Iranian poem offers a feast for the eyes.

Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings, continues at the Honolulu Museum of Art through July 26th.

Go to the Honolulu Museum site to sample images from the book.

Noe Tanigawa covered art, culture and ideas for two decades at Hawaiʻi Public Radio.
