Musashino Art University holds Masamu Yanase's works, which were originally donated to the collection by Tobuaki and Toshiko Yanase 20 years ago. This is the third exhibition of Yanase's work to be held at this university museum.

Ever since Yanase made his debut at the age of 15 at In-ten, he pursued his artistic career in a wide range of media including painting, manga, illustration, poster design and stage design. He was a leading figure of the Taisho Avant-garde. From 1990, when his works were first donated to the university museum, up until 2007, exhibitions of his work were held at 61 locations across Japan.

This exhibition focuses on the shift in style from Yanase's early satirical illustrations and rebellious proletarian manga, to his comic manga, which appeared in the Yomiuri Newspaper's comic section for children. In all these formats, Yanase successfully revealed his ability to touch the hearts of his audience with his stories.
