Kano Tan’yu (1602-74), who had firmly established his position within the Kanō School of Edo period painting, is known for stating that “it is bad for paintings to be packed” by Emperor Go-Mizunoo. In other words, it is undesirable to paint everything, and the work should give the impression of space and some leeway. This canon was not limited to the field of painting but was also interconnected with theories of other arts, such as Bashō’s poetry that strove for “lightness” and was widely practiced during the Edo period. This exhibition focuses on works of painting and calligraphy and introduces the world of art completed with an “unpacking” aesthetic sensibility.
