The Museum Collection currently consists of approximately 4,400 works of Kyoto modern art comprising Japanese paintings, Western-style paintings, sculpture, prints, crafts, and calligraphy. In particular, the Collection includes masterpieces representative of Japanese painting made by Kyoto artists between the Meiji and Showa periods, making it one of the leading collections of such works in Japan.
In the Meiji period, when the powerful nations of Europe and America were closing in on Japan, Kyoto produced ceramics that astonished the world. Due to their popularity at international expositions and the fact that many pieces were exported overseas, the existence of Kyoto ceramics from this period had long been shrouded in mystery, and only in recent years have they finally been introduced in Japan and overseas. Among them, the works of Seifu Yohei III, with their beautiful, otherworldly glazes and refined, exquisite carved reliefs, have attracted many Western collectors because of their rarity. This display will showcase the outstanding beauty and technical mastery born in Kyoto during the Meiji period, focusing mainly on the ceramic works of Seifu Yohei III and featuring works by Miyagawa Kozan I, Ito Tozan I among others.
