Tenju Emori, Umeko Ishikawa
This exhibition focuses on the flower-and-bird paintings of Fukaya, Saitama natives Tenju Emori (1887-1925) and Umeko Ishikawa (1890-1973).
Emori, who graduated from Tokyo Fine Arts School with high honors in 1911, debuted on the art scene after winning a prize at a painting competition the following year, and was selected for the first time in 1915 for the Ministry of Education Art Exhibition. Sadly, Emori contracted tuberculosis and died in 1925 at the age of 38.
At the age of 15, three years younger than Emori, Umeko Ishikawa began creating sewing machine embroidery. The following year, she held an exhibition of embroideries in Tokyo, and in 1916 opened a private school for women's education, teaching Japanese and Western dressmaking, koto, flower arrangement, and other subjects. In the same year, she had a fateful encounter with Emori and began to study Japanese-style painting in earnest. The teacher-student relationship led to deep mutual affection and a new life together, but Emori would soon pass away. This exhibition traces their artistic activities through the flower-and-bird paintings Emori gave to Ishikawa as models, and Umeko's exhibition works and drawings during those eight short years.
