Kiyokata Kaburaki
The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo has acquired one of the masterpieces of Kiyokata Kaburaki (1878–1972). This work, "Tsukiji Akashi-cho Town" (1927), had been missing for many years along with "Shintomi-cho Town" and "Hama-cho Gashi Zone" (both 1930). The three works were rediscovered in 2018. The museum now presents a major retrospective featuring 110 Japanese-style paintings, including the trilogy.
Staying mindful of his early career as an illustrator in the ukiyo-e style, Kaburaki borrowed motifs for his works from the lives of common people, as well as from literature and public entertainment. As people’s lifestyles and sentiments underwent radical changes after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II, Kaburaki remained steadfast in the scope of his interests.
