Depicting Flowers, Birds, Insects and Fish—Okyo, Hiroshige and Siebold

Sketch by Maruyama Okyo, Edo period

Special Display

Depicting Flowers, Birds, Insects and Fish—Okyo, Hiroshige and Siebold

April 14 (Sun.), 2019 – June 2 (Sun.)

This is our first attempt to hold an exhibition centering on paintings in our collection that depict animals and plants. These displays consist of Japanese paintings and ukiyoe woodblock prints from the Edo Period (18th century) and lithographs from the 19th century created in Europe. Japanese ones include sketches by Maruyama Okyo, ukiyoe woodblock prints by the world-famous Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, and modern oil still-life paintings by Kumagai Morikazu and Takama Soshichi. The ones from Europe are lithographs, with colors added by hand, in Fauna Japonica and Flora Japonica published by Siebold, a German doctor and biologist who lived in Japan. A wild plant picture book from England and an Asian bird picture book from Asia, both of which were published around the same period, are also on display.

* The selection for the display is planned to change during the exhibition period.

Jade Ware and Glassware―Focusing on Ancient China and Modern Europe―

September 1 (Sun.), 2019 – October 20 (Sun.)

Under the theme of jade and glass, both of which allow light to pass through, this exhibition introduces jade ware and glassware of China and Europe from our collection. Jade is a type of mineral, which has been highly valued since the Neolithic age in China, and a material from which a great number of artifacts have been created to date. With regard to glasswork in China, some were fashioned as copies of jade work from ancient time, while colorful works using different colored glass were created during the early modern period. In addition to those from China, this exhibition includes items from Europe, such as ancient colored glass from the Mediterranean region and Bohemian glass from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. This exhibition offers a great opportunity to appreciate the beauty of jade and glass and the elaborate handiwork involved in the ware on display.

Gorgeous Genjie―Genji Monogatari Tekagami (Scenes from The Tale of Genji) (Important cultural property)

January 19 (Sun.), 2020 – March 22 (Sun.)

Genji Monogatari Tekagami in our collection is a designated important cultural property, and a compilation of 80 pages, each of which bears a painting by Tosa Mitsuyoshi, an artist of the Tosa School in Senshu(in southern part of Osaka), from the beginning of the early modern period. The passages accompanying each of the scenes were copied by hand by 18 court nobles. Following designation of this work as an important cultural property in 2013, we conducted a preservation/restoration project over four years, starting in 2014. This exhibition is being held to commemorate the completion of the restoration and all 80 pages will be exhibited in rotation.
