This exhibition will introduce the charm and history of glass paintings, presenting approximately 130 works. The art form, which was first employed for religious paintings in medieval Europe and passed through China before arriving in Japan in the middle of the Edo period, now has a 200-year history in Japan. The brilliance and color of this new media that depicted exotic landscapes in a way similar to ukiyo-e prints impressed audiences in Edo-era and Meiji-era Japan. In the early twentieth century, Koide Narashige and Toshiyuki Hasegawa, two Western-style painters who were fascinated by glass paintings, began using the techniques in their work. Artists such as Tsuguharu Foujita, Sumio Kawakami, Keisuke Serizawa and Yuki Katsura also worked in this style in the postwar era. Here you can enjoy the glossy colors of the paint layered on top of the transparent glass surface.
