The Meiji Era, with the fall of the Edo Shogunate and the influx of Western civilization, was a period in which "art" was born.
Reforms of the political system and the status system, the spread of Western-style architecture and fashion, and other changes in society and culture brought about major changes in people's lifestyles and awareness.
It was during this period that the word "art" was coined, expositions were held, and museums were established. Oil paintings became popular, and the exportation of gorgeous handicrafts favored by Westerners took place. While society as a whole was westernized, the reevaluation and protection of antique art and the compilation of Japanese art history were also important events of the Meiji period.
This exhibition presents the Seikado collection from the standpoint of the Meiji period when the institutions and culture that led to modern "fine arts" were born. The exhibition includes the screen “Dragon Tiger" by Masakuni Hashimoto, one of the first modern artworks designated as Important Cultural Properties, and the controversial "Nude Woman" by Seiki Kuroda. The National Treasure "Yohen Tenmoku (Inaba Tenmoku)" will also be on display.
First Period: April 8 (Sat) - May 7 (Sun)
Second Period: May 10 (Thu) - June 4 (Sun)
