The exhibition broadly interprets story paintings and presents works depicting anecdotes of historical figures from ancient to modern times. Featured in this category are hand-painted pieces such as "Painting of Momotaro Conquering Demon Island" by Kyosai and "Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon" by Kyosui, alongside Kyosai's ukiyo-e prints of "The Journey to the West," which incorporate a satirical narrative layer.
In the third exhibition room, a special exhibition is being held featuring panels showcasing famous anecdotes and illustrations from "Kyosai Gadan," a publication that recounts episodes from Kyosai's own life, compiled by Masayasu Uryu (aka Kinga Baitei), and illustrated by Kyosai.
