開催要項
Ekin “Taiheikichūshinkoshaku Shichijogawarasokayado” |
Bakumatsu Meiji Era, a period where Ryoma Sakamoto laid foundations for modern Japan.
Artists appeared in Kochi in the likes of Ekin, who created the unique Tosa Shibaie folding screens, and Shōryō Kawada, artist and mentor to Ryoma on sea trading, who brought to Japan foreign paint goods and created perspectival and realist works.
In contrast, we had people like Suiseki Mibu, Tōsai Tokuhiro and Shōka Hashimoto, Nanga artists who drew inspiration from more traditional areas. Shoryo was a man who upon hearing accounts of John Manjiro’s tales of foreign countries, penned the “Hyoson Kiryaku” (A Brief Account of Drifting Toward the Southeast). He was well known in the elite circles at the time, for being not only an artist but an intellectual as well.
There was the man who taught Ryoma artillery and Hanpeita Takechi painting, Tōsai Tokuhiro, and people like Shoya Takamatsu, Ryoma’s brother-in-law, who were amongst those closely related to the period’s visionaries. Among the artists revered by Tosa Domain’s 15th lord Yodo Yamauchi were Kanpo Araki and Nanmei Haruki.
Shinkuro Kunisawa, known as a western painter of early Meiji Era, was also born in Kochi. He studied painting in Britain and brought back with him western books on art, painting specimens and tools and passed on skills to later generations. Shogido, the art school founded by Shinkurō and succeeded by Kinkichiro Honda, had students Naoe Kusunaga and Shokun Uemura, who subsequently brought oil painting to Kochi. In the Meiji Era there was the western painter Toraji Ishikawa, sculptor Hakuun Motoyama, Japanese painter Shoun Yamamoto, and many other artists of varying disciplines who got together and formed the Toyo Bijutsu-kai.
An exhibition of 106 works from 45 artists, ranging from hanging scrolls, folding screens, scrolls, oil paintings and sculptures, the Museum is proud to bring you Bakumatsu Meiji period works from artists who had some kind of connection with Kochi.
