Artists

Tadaoto Kainosho
As a Nihonga (Japanese-style) painter, Tadaoto Kainosho (1894-1978) was active in Kyoto during the Taisho (1912-1926) and early Showa Period (1926-1989). The works he showed as a member of the Kokuga Sosaku Kyokai (National Painting Creation Association) were acclaimed for their depiction of human life, which embraced both the beautiful and the ugly. Due in part to Kainosho’s subsequent shift to the film industry, where he worked as a researcher of traditional manners and customs, among other things, he was long neglected by the art world. Although an exhibition devoted to his paintings that was held at this museum in 1997 prompted a reevaluation of Kainosho’s career, it did not sufficiently address his film work. Recently, some period clothing Kainosho designed for movies was recently unearthed at a film studio in Uzumasa. This exhibition strives to present a full picture of the artist’s career, including his work for the screen.
