Hokusai Katsushika
The genius ukiyoe artist Hokusai Katsushika was a world-class master who strongly influenced Western artists, fascinating world-class painters such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin, and created the phenomenon of Japonisme in Europe. It is not widely known that this world-renowned Hokusai is a painter with a deep connection to Shinano.
This exhibition introduces the full scope of Hokusai's artistic activities through 46 of his "Fugaku Sanjurokkei" (Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji), a collection of nishiki-e ("Hyakumonogatari", "Taki Mawari", "Meibashi Kiran", "Sen-e no Umi"), rare prints and many masterpieces of his paintings of beautiful women and birds, as well as the ceiling paintings of the Kamimachi and Higashimachi Festival Stalls, which are representative works of Hokusai's art, and the ceiling paintings of the Iwashoin Temple, which are also representative works of his art. The exhibition also features Hokusai's late Obuse period through his masterpieces, such as the Uemachi and Higashimachi festival stalls and the ceiling painting of "Phoenixes" at Iwashoin Temple.
The exhibition will also explore the relationship between Hokusai and Suwa through the portraits of Lake Suwa and Chino Hyogo, a retainer of the Suwa Takashima clan, which are among the few Shinshu landscapes that have been depicted on numerous occasions, and the footprints of Hokusai's senior apprentice Gosei Hotei as a painter in the Matsumoto area where he settled as his final home. The exhibition will also explore what Shinano was to Hokusai.
