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 over 13,000 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 3 (“Taisho Touch”), Room 4 (“From Palm-of-the-Hand to Wall-Filling Scale”), and Room 10 (“A Carefree and Light-Hearted Ink Painter”) are all related to the special exhibition The Making of Munakata Shiko (opening October 6). These rooms can be enjoyed by visitors who have already seen the Munakata exhibition and those who have not. In addition, we present a series of small exhibitions featuring individual artists, with Room 6 dedicated to the Nihon-ga (Japanese-style) painter Higashiyama Kaii, Room 7 to the printmaker Hiwasaki Takao, Room 9 to the photographer Gocho Shigeo, and Room 10 to the lacquer artist Taguchi Yoshikuni. Also, do not miss the special exhibit of abstract works by female artists in Gallery 4 on the 2nd floor.
We believe our curatorial team has successfully showcased the depth and breadth of the collection by making connections between thematic exhibits and presenting major works by important artists. Please enjoy your visit to the fullest!
