The Collection Room allows visitors to fully experience the fascinating aspects of Kyoto art through special exhibits featuring popular artists and themes that represent Kyoto.
Toshijiro Inagaki (1902-1963), a kata-e dye artist and holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property, created a series of works that followed traditional production techniques and elaborated designs within the limitations of these techniques. Inagaki's works show not only a high level of technical perfection, such as the skillful incorporation of hangings (connections between designs or between designs and molds) as part of the design but also a sense of playfulness, such as the artist's use of coincidental elements such as dye rubbing and blotting that occur during the production process.
This special exhibition focuses on Inagaki's newly acquired works, which have been donated to the museum. The exhibition will also shed light on the depth of kata-e-dyeing and its appeal through the artist's outstanding individual expression and Inagaki's playful spirit.
