Regular Exhibition

Scenes of Famous Places on the Tokaido Road—Shogun’s Trip to Kyoto in Ukiyoe Paintings

June 25 (Sun.), 2023 – August 20 (Sun.)

The year 2023 marks the 160th anniversary of when the 14th Shogun of the Tokugawa government, Tokugawa Iemochi, traveled to Kyoto in 1863. During this year, our museum will exhibit all 158 pieces of the Tokaido Meisho Fukei (Scenes of Famous Places on the Tokaido Road), which depicted the Shogun’s Kyoto trip for common people, over two periods. This series of painted scenes, acting much like a set of illustrated journals, was created by ukiyoe painters of the Utagawa School, including Utagawa Toyokuni III, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Ochiai Yoshiiku, and Kawanabe Kyosai (Chikamaro). We will present this exhibition in a family-friendly way, with captions accompanying exhibits that will explain key points and the way to enjoy ukiyoe with children in mind.

Sotatsu—Scenes from Genji, Ise, and Saigyo Tales

Matsukaze, Scenes from the Tale of Genji by Tawaraya Sotatsu

Special Display

Sotatsu—Scenes from Genji, Ise, and Saigyo Tales

September 17 (Sun.), 2023 – November 12 (Sun.)

This special display will feature the work of Tawaraya Sotatsu, a painter of some note in Kyoto who was active during the early Edo Period. Sotatsu set about illustrating a variety of individuals from common people to aristocrats in Kyoto when another popular artist, Tosa Mitsuyoshi, began producing paintings following his evacuation from Kyoto to Sakai due to the turmoil brought about by war. Although pictures depicting The Tale of Genji were known to be the specialty of the artists of the Tosa School, Sotatsu also left a number of paintings depicting this tale in his own style, somewhat different from that of Tosa. He was the founder of the Sotatsu School, which was one of the most important schools in the Japanese art scene during the Edo Period. We will exhibit his work on stories, as well as other works from his studio, Sotatsu Kobo, including the tales of Genji and Ise, many of which have been loaned from some national museums in Japan as well as private collections.
