EXHIBITION OVERVIEW

Tokyo Fuji Art Museum’s “Art Exhibition of Nansei Sakagami: Seeking the Beauty of Yamato-e” consists of some 40 works by the famed traditional Japanese painter capturing the exploratory techniques that inject the decorative nature of the time-honored Yamato-e and Rimpa schools of paintings with a fresh, contemporary sensibility. The exhibition encompasses works from his early days to his most modern pieces, including the ukiyoe-style Genji-e that depict women of a refined, dynastic era, the traditional paintings of cherry blossoms and a motif of autumn flowers portraying the world of classical beauty.
