The Medicine Chest with Herb Design, which was created by Iizuka Tōyō I (d. 1790) and handed down by the Hachisuka clan, lords of the Awa Tokushima domain (today’s Tokushima prefecture), is in the Nezu Museum’s collection. This work has been designated an Important Cultural Property this year. The star of this exhibition is that Medicine Chest with Herb Design. Its luxurious contents are all on display, as is the herb design on the inside of its front panel, the chest’s most remarkable feature. That herb design is a guide to exploring the context in which the chest was created, the intersection of natural history studies and art in the latter half of the eighteenth century. This exhibition is also the first opportunity to address Iizuka Tōyō I’s signature works as a group. Please enjoy the world of art that flourished within the network of lords who loved studying natural history.
