Kansetsu Hashimoto
Kansetsu Hashimoto (1883-1945) was a master who, while inheriting the traditions of the early modern period, incorporated modernity and perfected a unique, elegant, and magnificent artistic world. This exhibition is a special opportunity to commemorate the 140th anniversary of Hashimoto's birth and is being held jointly with two museums in Kyoto.
Born in Kobe, Hashimoto was trained by his Confucian father, Kaiseki, and studied Chinese books and poetry, as well as becoming familiar with the art of painting. His art, backed by the vigorous brushwork of his mastery of the Shijō School painting method and his deep understanding of and attachment to the Chinese classics, demonstrated his precocious talent, and he became renowned at a young age.
He also made dozens of trips to China and Europe, and his passion for collecting, which he turned into his own strength as he continued to move forward, and his work was not confined to a single genre like that of many other painters but included historical paintings inspired by Chinese and Japanese historical events, landscapes and landscapes that aimed to unite poetry and painting, flower and bird paintings full of life and color, and vivid beauty paintings. He was not restricted to a single genre like many other painters, but worked with his brush in all directions, producing masterpieces that became representative of the pre-war Kyoto art world.
This exhibition introduces Hashimoto's career in Kyoto, where he spent the most time in his life, and his achievements through a number of masterpieces, including Mokuran (Hakusasonsō Hashimoto Kansetsu Museum).
