Note: this event is not in Tokyo, but in Kyoto.
The Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art showcases artworks related to the city from the late Edo period (1603-1868) until the present day in a new exhibition, 250 Years of Kyoto Art Masterpieces. You will be able to admire works by Nagasawa Rosetsu, Ishizaki Koyo, Chu Asai, Insho Domoto, Kazuo Yagi, Bakusen Tsuchida and more. The exhibition features artworks from the Edo, Meiji and Showa periods, as well as contemporary art from the post-war era.
Don’t miss the works by Ko Nomura, who belonged to the Pan-Real Art Association, an avant-garde art group established in 1949. It’s also interesting to compare the works of a group of related nihonga (traditional Japanese art) painters from the turn of the 20th century: Seiho Takeuchi, his son-in-law Suisho Nishiyama, Nishiyama’s nephew Hideo Nishiyama and his student Daizaburo Nakamura.
There are also a few pieces using the museum itself as a subject, such as photographs taken by Keiji Uematsu.
The exhibition runs until December 6. For more details on displayed artworks, see the official website.
