The Pioneers of Nihonga ― Taikan, Shunso, Gyokudo, and Ryushi

Yamatane Museum of Art
Finished

Artists

Taikan Yokoyama, Shunso Hshida, Gyokudo Kawai, Ryushi Kawabata
Taikan Yokoyama, Shunso Hishida, Gyokudo Kawai, and Ryushi Kawabata all led in the evolution of nihonga by exploring the possibilities of painting that would be based on tradition but suited the new age in which they lived. Focusing on these four painters and tracing the course of their work, this exhibition reflects on the history of modern nihonga.

An additional focus is the Pine, Bamboo, and Plum (Shochikubai) exhibitions that Taikan Yokoyama, Gyokudo Kawai, and Ryushi Kawabata participated in 1955 through 1957, near the end of their careers, at the Kensodo gallery. The Shochikubai exhibitons were planned at the request of Taneji Yamazaki, the museum’s founder, who cultivated his personal collections with these artists while collecting their work.
