School kids tour TFAM as part of community outreach initiative
On June 26, some 50 people led by students, guardians and faculty members from Toyo Elementary School in Hachioji City, along with residents from the local community, took part in “Asobi-jutsu-kan,” an extracurricular program launched in 2019 held at the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum primarily on Saturdays for local students and the Hachioji community at large.
Due to the lockdown, the event was the first in three years in which the children could tour TFAM in person (the previous two sessions were held online). Participants were divided into four groups, with students from nearby Soka University, who completed a museum education course, serving as docents. The main activity was the special viewing of the exhibition, “Mitsuaki Iwago’s World ‘Cats’ Travelogue,” which opened to the public on June 1. Mitsuaki Iwago is a renowned wildlife photographer whose favorite motifs are cats; the TFAM exhibition features 209 works taken on his trips across the world.

April 24, 2021Museum releases new research work on Tavola Doria
The Tokyo Fuji Art Museum announced the publishing of Ushinawareta daihekiga no kioku (tentative English translation: “Remembering the Lost Great Mural”), an academic study in Japanese focusing on the “Tavola Doria,” an oil painting believed by some to portray central portion of “The Battle of Anghiari,” the largest mural project that Leonardo da Vinci ever undertook. Both works are steeped in mystery and fascination and the source of some controversy.
TFAM donated the “Tavola Doria” to the Italian government in 2012 and the work is currently owned by the renowned Uffizi Gallery. Following its donation, the painting has been shown to large public audiences in Japan and Italy. Scientific research on the “Tavola Doria” has been ongoing, with findings by some of the foremost authorities in the field being published.
Ushinawareta daihekiga no kioku features reports from global experts on art restoration and conservation, as well as the most recent thought essays, dissertations and other relevant studies from Italy and Japan. The book is slated for release in Japanese on April 12 and available on Amazon Japan.
