The Japanese-style painter Seiho Takeuchi (1864-1942), known as "Taikan of the East and Seiho of the West," remained at the center of the Kyoto art world from the Meiji period to the Showa period, and had the greatest influence on the modern Japanese painting world in Kyoto.
Takeuichi was a member of the Takashimaya Department of Design for about a year from 1889 and then became involved in the production of dyed textile works for Takashimaya as an advisor. The dyed and woven works supervised by Seiho and produced by the fusion of Western and Japanese expression received high acclaim in Europe.
Later, Takeuchi went to Europe to inspect the World Exposition in Paris in 1900, and after returning to Japan, he combined the "shaini" of Japanese painting with Western "form-awareness" (actual observation) to show one of the directions that Japanese art should take in the future.
In this exhibition, 12 contemporary artists will present their unique interpretations of Seiho Takeuchi's most popular work, "Aré Yudatsu ni" (In the Evening) (Collection of Takashimaya Archives), which became one of his most important works in the Taisho period (1912-1926).
Takeuchi is said to have taken "Aré Yudatsu ni Nure Shinobu" from Seigen's "Tsuki Hana Kore Tomotori" (Yamamba) as the subject matter for this work, which he described as depicting "the beauty of the moment when a maiko is dancing. This work is a fruition of the importance of Western observation of the real thing and the Japanese tradition of copying. This year, on the 160th anniversary of Seiho Takeuchi's birth, contemporary artists will revive this work by using a variety of expressive techniques, transcending time and space from the past to the present.
