Artists

Hogai Kano
Hogai Kano (1828-1888) is an artist who represents the dawn of modern Japanese painting, his masterpiece “Hibo Kannon,” produced for the emperor, hailed as a turning point that shines brightly in the narrative of Japanese art history. Following on the heels of Kano, Shusui Okakura (1869-1950), Fuho Oka (1869-1940), Shotetsu Takaya (1866-1945), and Tenjo Honda (1867-1946) rose as the next generation of ground-breaking painters. This is the first exhibition to honor the work of these four pioneering artists, following their journey through largely unknown works and materials introduced to the public here for the first time. Alongside these, masterpieces by artists who established the foundations of modern Japanese painting, such as Kano and Gaho Hashimoto, will also be presented. The exhibition will be comprised of around 90 works in total.

*The works on display will change during the exhibition period.
Part 1: Nov. 3 - 26
Part 2: Nov. 28 - Dec. 17
