Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-89) was one of the most renowned artists of his day. His popularity has increased enormously in recent years, both in Japan and abroad. The artist’s themes range from Shintō and Buddhist subjects to comic pictures with animals, ghosts and goblins. In each of Kyōsai’s works we witness his technical brilliance and wit. This exhibition presents exquisite examples of paintings and prints from the Israel Goldman Collection, London, including many works that will be shown in Japan for the first time.
*There will be an exhibition change during the course of exhibition.
