One Thing Leads to Another―From the “Illustrated Stories on Courtier Ban Dainagon” to Itō Jakuchū
This year marks around the 120th year since Idemitsu Sazo (1885-1981) first obtained Zen master Sengai’s work. Since the museum’s opening until today, the collection underwent processes of re-evaluation and growth, housing a wealth of works that cover histories of Japanese and Chinese calligraphy and painting. This exhibition showcases masterpieces of yamato-e (Japanese style painting), butsu-ga (Buddhist painting), suiboku-ga (ink painting), bunjin-ga (literati paintings), ukiyo-e, rimpa, and calligraphy while retracing the museum’s research and collecting practices.
