Fantastical Painter, Matabei Iwasa – The Tale of Yamanaka Tokiwa: All 12 Volumes
MOA Museum of Art
Finished
SHARE
Celebrating the re-opening of the museum, this exhibition will present all 12 volumes of The Tale of Tokiwa Yamanaka, a work recognized as an Important Cultural Property, for the first time in three years. The volumes tell the story of the warrior hero Yoshitsune. His mother, the Lady Tokiwa, who leaves the capital in order to meet her son in Oshu, is murdered in the mountains by bandits, so Yoshitsune takes revenge on these bandits. While this is a masterpiece comprised of twelve volumes, the unity of the structure is such that it hints to a single artist’s production. The volumes are often attributed to Matabei Katsumochi Iwasa, due to the characteristics of the faces depicted. The length of the exhibited works is around 70 meters in total.
