Seiho Takeuchi et al.
In early spring 2024, the Fukuda Museum of Art in Saga Arashiyama, Kyoto, will host an exhibition focusing on Seiho Takeuchi and his disciples to commemorate the 160th anniversary of his birth.
Seiho Takeuchi (1864-1942) is one of Kyoto’s greatest masters of the modern era. He is so incomparably significant that it is impossible to talk about Kyoto’s art history since the Meiji era (1868-1912) without mentioning him. It is no exaggeration to say that Seihō set the direction in which Japanese painting in Kyoto would subsequently move. This exhibition is to explore his talent and capacity.
From the collection of the Fukuda Art Museum, which traverses both the early modern and modern periods, this exhibition includes many types of paintings. The works of his predecessors, including his teacher Kōno Bairei, whom the young Takeuchi referred to to build up the strength to leap forward. Takeuchi's work incorporates not only Eastern but also Western expression and gives a sense of inexhaustible mobility. The exhibition also features works by Suisho Nishiyama, Shoen Uemura, Bakusen Tsuchida, Kagaku Murakami, Hako Irie, Heihachiro Fukuda, and Shinsen Tokuoka, who were guided by Takeuchi and each demonstrated their outstanding individuality.
