Animal Art Museum

2022年07月16日（土） - 2022年10月10日（月）

Animals often appear in Japanese painting.
The theme that many painters have tackled since ancient times has been how to depict moving creatures by observing wild animals that live close at hand, such as deer and raccoon dogs, as well as domestic animals that have supported people's lives as livestock, such as cows and horses.
This exhibition introduces a variety of animal paintings, including the thoughts of painters who were fascinated by animals and the background to their work.

2022年04月23日（土） - 2022年07月03日（日）

Flowers beguile the seasons with scent and color. Since painting began, people have used the brush to capture the fleeting beauty of flowers. This exhibition features flowers and fruits painted by Yokoyama Taikan, Hishida Shunsō, and other masters of modern Japanese painting. Even at this moment of year, these pictures allow you to enjoy the passing seasons of Japan.
