Chikanobu Yoshu
Chikanobu Yoshu was a popular ukiyo-e painter next to Yoshitoshi Tsukioka and Kiyochika Kobayashi in the Meiji period. Chikanobu was famous for his use of brilliant colors, marking the dawn of a new age. His depictions of the lifestyles of samurai of the Tokugawa Shogunate in the Edo period, as well as the "new" Meiji-era customs of women, were highly sophisticated. His body of work is now considered to be an important document of history.
In this exhibition, we will introduce Chikanobu's artistic career and the fresh appeal of ukiyo-e from the Meiji period.
