Welcome to the MOMAT Collection!
To introduce some features of the museum’s exhibitions of works from the collection: First, its scale is one of the largest in Japan, displaying approximately 200 works each term from the museum’s holdings of approximately 14,000 works acquired since its opening in 1952. Also, it is one of the foremost exhibitions in Japan, tracing the arc of Japanese modern and contemporary art from the end of the 19th century to the present day through a series of 12 rooms, each with its own specific theme.
Some highlights of the current term are as follows. Room 2 on the fourth floor presents a collaboration between this museum and the National Crafts Museum. It features an array of masterworks, including Suzuki Chokichi’s Twelve Bronze Falcons (a National Important Cultural Property) and the newly acquired Large vase in flower-and-bird design with elephant-shaped ornament by Kanamori Soshichi.
In relation to our annual Spring Festival in MOMAT, the exhibition will feature well-loved works such as Kawai Gyokudo’s Parting Spring and Atomi Gyokushi’s Scroll of Cherry Blossoms (March 3 to April 12). The period following the Spring Festival (April 14 to May 10) will also offer a feast for the eyes. In conjunction with the exhibition Shimomura Kanzan: A Retrospective on the first floor (opening March 17), we will present an extraordinary group of works by artists connected to Shimomura, including Yokoyama Taikan and Hishida Shunso.
Once again this term, we are pleased to offer an abundant lineup of works from the MOMAT Collection for your enjoyment.
