Explore modeling skills and aesthetic sense hidden in Kuniyoshi’s works
This is an exhibition of works by the late Edo period, i.e. nineteenth century, ukiyo-e artist UTAGAWA Kuniyoshi. Works by Kuniyoshi have proved very popular not only in Japan but also in Europe and America in recent years. The true worth of Kuniyoshi lies in a world different from conventional features of “Japanese beauty” such as serenity, lingering effects, and refinement and the time has finally come for many people to appreciate such charms.
Kuniyoshi was an artisan who handled ukiyo-e as a commodity.
≪Saito Oniwaka-maru, the young Benkei, fighting the carp in the water≫ *Exhibited in the 2nd term
This exhibition begins by examining what sort of work he dealt with and surveying various aspects of his oeuvre. It then considers what it is that is captivating so many people’s hearts nowadays by exploring the brilliant imagination and methods with which he created beautiful things, cute things, or spectacular scenes and his love for cats.
Altogether 240 or so works will be shown in two sessions.
≪Singing “Bonbon” Song≫ *Exhibited in the 1st term
