Modern Japanese Painting

  From the Meiji period onwards, the Japanese art world was alive with creative activity. This period saw the staging of several state-sponsored exhibitions, such as the Bunten and Teiten exhibitions. It also saw the formation of various artistic groups. Starting with the Kyoto painters who served as Takeuchi Seiho’s teachers and pupils, this museum’s collection includes works by artists who pursued their own unique paths within art groups across Japan.
