Portraits of Modern China—Living in Art Works

Children Playing in the Garden by Jie Wen, Qing Dynasty (1800)

Regular Exhibition

Portraits of Modern China—Living in Art Works

June 15 (Tue.), 2021 – August 15 (Sun.)

50 portrait pieces created from the Qing Dynasty to the modern age (mid 19th to mid 20th centuries) will be exhibited from our second generation Kuboso Collection and Chinese modern art collection (Teiseido Collection) donated by Hayashi Munetake. Many Chinese painters at that time not only learned the traditional style but were also influenced by new theories and techniques from Western countries, as well as Japan, during a time of rapid and radical social change brought about by modernization. The displays will include portraits that introduce subjects from all walks of life, from famous Taoists and Buddhists, to hermits living a secluded existence, and ordinary men, women and children.

Tosa and Sumiyoshi Schools II —The Development of the Yamatoe Painting Style and the Outstanding Characteristic of Each School

“The Oak Tree” from The Tale of Genji on a Fan by Tosa Mitsuoki

Special Exhibition

Tosa and Sumiyoshi Schools II —The Development of the Yamatoe Painting Style and the Outstanding Characteristic of Each School

September 12 (Sun.), 2021 – November 7 (Sun.)

As a sequel to the 2018 exhibition “Tosa and Sumiyoshi Schools—The Lightness and Solemnity in Yamatoe Paintings,” this exhibition will be held to introduce the progression of Yamatoe paintings over the entire Edo Period, once again featuring these two schools. It will first focus on the development of this particular style of the time to provide an outline, and then investigate how these schools embraced and inherited the traditional Yamatoe style while surrounded by active artists from other schools, such as Kano, Maruyama, Shijo, Bunjinga and Rin. It will also attempt to examine the roles of the artists of these schools and how both contributed so much to art history. With this exhibition, we hope to encourage the world to recognize the amazing works of the Yamatoe Schools, which have, up to now, been considered a rather minor part of Edo art history.
