Artists
Kikujiro Takashima
The Taisho (1912-1926) and early Showa (1926-1989) periods, were characterized by people's enthusiastic collection of art works used for the tea ceremony. Fascinated by Chinese culture, Kikujiro Takashima (1875-1969) collected many works of Chinese art and his collection is internationally renowned.
In the spring of 1965, Takashima donated his collection of more than 300 works to the Tokyo National Museum. Part of a joint project with the Mitsui Memorial Museum and the Taito City Calligraphy Museum, this exhibition shows the collections simultaneously.
