Lineage of Eccentrics: The Miraculous World of Edo Painting

Based on art historian Nobuo Tsuji’s 1970 book ‘Lineage of Eccentrics’, this exhibition explores the powerfully imaginative world of Edo paintings. Major works by eight prominent artists – Iwasa Matabei, Kano Sansetsu, Ito Jakuchu, Soga Shohaku, Nagasawa Rosetsu, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Hakuin Ekaku and Suzuki Kiitsu – will be shown in one venue, complemented with a number of important cultural properties.
