Seiho Takeuchi et al.
Seiho Takeuchi (1864-1942) was a central figure in the modern Kyoto art world. Takeuchi inherited the traditions of the Maruyama and Shijo schools but also studied various classics, and in 1900, he went to Europe to visit the Paris Exposition and was greatly inspired by the art there. According to Takeuchi's disciple Kansetsu Hashimoto, Takeuchi himself said that he could depict even the smell of an animal's body when he painted it, and his ability to depict animals is highly regarded and still has a fresh appeal today. Takeuchi was also an excellent educator and devoted himself to the development of modern Japanese painting by nurturing many talented artists.
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Takeuchi's death, the Yamatane Museum of Art will hold a special exhibition on the artist for the first time in 10 years. This exhibition traces Takeuchi's painting career through "Hanneko" (Important Cultural Property), a masterpiece of animal paintings, “Shoto" (Tiger) from the Tokyo National Museum collection (exhibited in the first half of the exhibition), and many other outstanding works, including work from his private collection that is being exhibited for the first time. The exhibition also introduces Takeuchi's predecessors in the Kyoto art world, including Kakou Tsuji and Shunkyo Yamamoto, who were active in the same period, as well as works by Goun Nishimura, Bakusen Tsuchida, and Chikkyo Ono, all of whom were students of Takeuchi. In addition, "Nude Woman" (Important Cultural Property) by one of his students, Kagaku Murakami, will be on special display.
