* The Museum is closed temporarily due to the catastrophic mudslide that occurred near the Museum on July 3. As of July 4, the Museum agreed to provide its car parking areas to serve as a rescue base at the request by the Police Department, Fire Brigade, and the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Due to the circumstances, the Museum will be closed between July 4 and 8.
The art scenes in mid-nineteenth-to-early-twentieth century Japan underwent a dramatic transformation, strongly influenced by the incoming European philosophy of art and new techniques in conflict with the mood for preserving traditional arts. This was the context in which Kyoto-based artist Takeuchi Seihō (1864–1942) developed his successful career. He was trained in the painting tradition of the Shijō school, and yet also developed skills in a wide spectrum of artistic expressions, from the Kano school to literati painting and European realism. His quest for new expressions culminated into his unique style, which stirred a revolution in the Kyoto painting circle.
Animals were Seiho’s forte, based on his minute observations. His dedicated brushwork breathes life into his deer, sparrows, etc., depictions so authentic as if they were about to come alive. Celebrating the 80-year anniversary of his death, Seiho’s masterpieces that capture the vibrant life of nature are presented.
