Koyo Ishizaki
Koyo Ishizaki (1884-1947) was a Japanese painter who was active primarily in Kyoto from the late Meiji to early Showa periods. He is known for his unique and vibrant kacho-ga (bird-and-flower paintings). Born in Toyama Prefecture, Ishizaki studied under Koichi Yamamoto, a painter of the Edo Rinpa school who stayed in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. At the age of 19, he moved to Kyoto and became a pupil of the renowned Japanese painter Seiho Takeuchi. From 1916 to 1917, he traveled to India, and upon returning, he received critical acclaim for his works "Tropical Spring" and "Brilliant Rain," which depicted tropical birds and landscapes, winning top honors at the Bunten and Teiten exhibitions for two consecutive years.
Ishizaki had a keen interest in Jakuchu Ito from an early age, and in 1925, he discovered and introduced Ito's masterpieces in a magazine. He also extensively studied ancient paintings, including those of the Kyoto Kano school, incorporating these influences into his work.
This exhibition, marking the 140th anniversary of Ishizaki's birth, will showcase the full scope of his artistic career. It will feature a comprehensive collection of his works from early to later periods, centered on the collection of the Nanto City Fukumitsu Museum of Art in Toyama Prefecture, his hometown.
