We are pleased to present an exhibition themed around “Travel” and “Stories,” featuring paintings and prints from the medieval to the modern period, with a special focus on the collection of the Sano Art Museum.
In the Edo period in particular, the development of major roads turned once-distant places of longing into accessible travel destinations. Even those who could not journey themselves were able to savor the atmosphere of travel through artworks created from the observations and experiences of artists. Cultural exchange also flourished, and as publishing culture advanced, historical tales and classical literature from various regions were printed with illustrations, allowing a wide audience to enjoy these stories.
This exhibition introduces approximately seventy works, including folding screens depicting lively famous places, hanging scrolls portraying scholars living deep in the mountains, and ukiyo-e prints capturing the dynamic scenes of beloved literary characters.
