Setsuchiku Kondo (1863-1928) was born in Edo and grew up under the influence of his father, a literati who enjoyed haiku and calligraphy. From an early age, Kondo was familiar with Chinese classics and calligraphy. In 1879, at the age of 16, he became a pupil of Meikaku Kusakabe and also benefited from the teachings of Ichiroku Iwaya. He studied the calligraphy of renowned masters from the Jin and Qing dynasties and from inscriptions on bronze and stone. He was particularly known as a master of clerical script, influenced by the "Zhang Qian Stele" and "Stone Gate Inscription," and was highly regarded by great masters such as Meikaku, Ichiroku, and Gochiku.
Entering the Taisho period, many calligraphy organizations were established, and exhibition activities became more active. Setsuchiku participated in groups such as Danshokai, Kenpitsukai, Nihon Shodokai, Nihon Shodosakushinkai, and Boshin Shodokai, playing a leading role. He also devoted himself to teaching the next generation, reportedly having as many as 3,000 disciples. He nurtured many talents who later led the post-war calligraphy world, including Shiyu Tsujimoto and Hosui Matsumoto.
This exhibition will feature works by Kondo from the collection, as well as works by those who influenced him, such as his teachers Kusakabe and Iwaya, contemporaries he worked with like Tenrai Hidai and Kaikaku Niwa, and next-generation artists who gathered around him, such as Tsujimoto and Matsumoto.
The small exhibition "100th Anniversary of Soin Furutani's Birth" will display Furutani's calligraphy along with his cherished calligraphy models and writing implements.
