Hachiro Nakagawa

This year marks 110 years since 1912, the last year of the Meiji era. This exhibition introduces more than 200 watercolors and oil paintings collected overseas by one collector, showing how the artist's gaze captured the Japanese landscape during this period when Japan as a whole was undergoing a major transformation from its relationship with Western countries and its own consciousness was also turning outward. Included among these are 13 works by Hachiro Nakagawa (1877-1922), a Western-style painter from Uchiko Town, including his early masterpiece "Snow Forest Returning to Pasture." On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his death, this exhibition will feature all of Nakagawa's works in our collection in conjunction with this exhibition, and once again convey the appeal of his work. In the uncontrollable swell of the times, the landscapes that the painters discovered were not new but were the everyday life that existed there.
