Red Museum Handicraft Gallery "History with Akae-e-ting - Yoshitoshi Fukushima Exhibition"

In commemoration of the joy of Mr. Takeyama Fukushima, a leading leader in Kutaniyaki and thin paintings, we will introduce about 50 works, including a collection of past works that symbolize their history and the collection of Sawada, the representative of the Isehan Group, who owns many elaborate and mature works.
Akae Sano was flourishing from the end of the Tokugawa shogunate to the Meiji period and declined at one time. Fascinated by the redness and technique, Mr. Takeyama Fukushima has been sincerely facing red picture fine drawing since his 20s, learned techniques by groping from masterpieces of artists who lived in the previous era, and complemented and built the lost skills while receiving advice from others. And now, he has been active as a leading artist of Kutani ware and thin paintings, and continues to actively send his works to the world.
Mr. Fukushima's most famous figures, such as the Tang Dynasty people who have been drawn since ancient times and the seven wise men of the bamboo forest, are full of warmth with a meek expression. On the other hand, by combining delicate and uniform lines and using shades, we have established our own design work that expresses a sense of dynamism such as the warmth of sunlight, the fluctuation of the wind, and the breath of nature.
In this exhibition, please enjoy the history of the past while paying attention to Mr. Fukushima's "technique", "world view", and overflowing rich humanity.

* Some of the works will be exhibited during the exhibition. 2/26 (Sat)-3/12 (Sat), 2nd semester: 3/15 (Tue) - 4/9 (Sat)
