Seison Maeda, Taikan Yokoyama, Gaho Hashimoto, Hanko Kajita, Kanzan Shimomura, Shunso Hishida et al.

The artist Seison Maeda (1885-1977) made the Nihon Bijutsuin (Japan Art Institute) his center of activity in leading the art world of modern Japan in the Taisho and Showa eras. In 2015, to commemorate the 130th anniversary of his birth, the Yamatane Museum of Art will exhibit all the paintings by Seison in our collection, accompanied by paintings by his predecessors in the Nihon Bijutsuin, including Taikan Yokoyama, Shunso Hishida , and Kanzan Shimomura as well as his contemporaries and members of the younger generation of members of the Nihon Bijutsuin, such as Kokei Kobayashi, Yukihiko Yasuda, Gyoshu Hayami, and Ikuo Hirayama. This exhibition includes all thirteen works by Seison in the museum’s collection as well as Green Field by Seison’s master, Hanko Kajita, Sakuemon’s House by Yokoyama Taikan, a pioneer member of the Nihon Bijutsuin, Ancient Pine Tree and White Wisterias by Kanzan Shimomura, Irises by Kokei Kobayashi and Himeji Castle by Togyu Okumura, his fellow pupils, and Minamoto no Yoshitsune in Hiraizumi by Yukihiko Yasuda. By including work by the generation who succeeded him, the exhibition reflects upon the achievements of Seison, with his extensive social relations, and the artists in the Nihon Bijutsuin.
