Commemorating the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, this exhibition explores how the art worlds of Japan and Europe have influenced each other over time through artworks and related resources, focusing on cultural exchanges between the East and the West. It covers the Nanban era from the late 16th to early 17th centuries when Japan began importing Western culture, as well as the later Sakoku (national isolation) era during the Edo Period when Japanese people became curious about and fascinated by European culture. Years after the era of Tsutaya Juzaburo, as featured in the special exhibition in this museum, ukiyoe woodblock prints, such as Hokusai Manga by Katsushika Hokusai, were a sensation at the second Paris International Exposition. This was the first exposition in which Japan officially participated. The exhibition also delves into the era when Japonism became a cultural movement in Europe following the expo, when artists, like Monet and Lautrec, were so obviously captivated by Japanese art. (The exhibition will be held both in the Main Building and Annex.)
