The painter and poet Yumeji Takehisa (1884-1934) is widely known as a symbol of Taisho Roman culture for his depictions of "Yumeji-style beauties."
Yumeji is often strongly associated with the Taisho era (1912-1926), but he also left behind a diverse range of works in the modern culture that flourished in the early Showa era, and in 1931 he realized his long-cherished dream of traveling abroad. He continued to express his own unique style of art until his death in 1934 at the age of 49.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Showa era, and this exhibition has the theme of "Yumeji in Showa,” and displays and introduces the results of his visits to western countries and lesser known aspects of this period.
