Tomitaro Makino

Tomitaro Makino (1862-1957) encountered many plants and interacted with many people over the course of his long life. As he wrote in his poem, "I who have the most precious treasure of all, neither wealth nor honor can be wished for," it seems that the plants he encountered and the friends he made through his sincere enjoyment of plants were his most precious treasures or even more so. Makino devoted his life to botanical research, and at the same time, he devoted himself to spreading botanical knowledge by encouraging the general public to collect plants.

This exhibition introduces various aspects of Makino's life, featuring botanical drawings he made in his youth and in his later years, as well as photographs of plants from his "Lusha Botanical Atlas of Japan and Jasminaceae" and other works.
