Sengai Gibon (1750-1837) was the head monk at Shōfuku-ji in Hakata, Fukuoka prefecture, the first Zen temple in Japan. He was known for painting elegant zen-ga (Zen paintings) filled with humorous touches and many people visited his small temple to see his works. Sengai was active at a time when artists such as Maruyama Ōkyo (1733-1795) in Kyoto, Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) and Sakai Hōitsu (1761-1829) in Edo (present-day Tokyo), and further literati painters such as Tanomura Chikuden (1777-1835) were also active, during a ripe age of townsmen culture. This exhibition introduces paintings of the Edo period that shares the joy of painting.
