Utamaro Kitagawa, Hokusai Katsushika
The Okada Museum of Art marks its 10th anniversary in October this year. The second part of its exhibition commemorating this milestone features Utamaro Kitagawa and Hokusai Katsushika, ukiyo-e masters who created groundbreaking work in new styles and struck a chord with common people. These two figures made their debut at almost the same time. Kitagawa was the first to find popularity with his bijin-ga (images of beautiful women), while Hokusai worked in various fields, not only bijin-ga, but also genre-painting, landscapes, bird-and-flower painting, and musha-e (depictions of warriors) – leaving a huge quantity of work behind him from his 90-year life.
This exhibition is centered around unique hand-painted pieces, three by Kitagawa and ten by Katsushika, that belong to our collection, alongside Katsushika's signature block printing work Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji, and a masterpiece of erotic painting, Nami Chidori (“Plovers Above the Waves”), all of which will be shown together. There are thought to be only around 40 existing hand-painted pieces by Kitagawa, so this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see three of them, including the wonderful Snow in Fukagawa, which was rediscovered in 2012. The over 40 pieces exhibited will not exclusively consist of works by Kitagawa and Katsushika, but also feature works by their contemporaries, and those before and after their period.
The exhibition of "Snow in Fukugawa" will be limited to the period of September 8th to December 10th. (Outside of that period, a high-resolution replica will be on display.)
