5 Stars of Ukiyo-e Artists
5 Stars of Ukiyo-e Artists
Kitagawa Utamaro, who painted graceful women; Toshusai Sharaku, who became popular for his dramatic portrayals of actors; Katsushika Hokusai, who uniquely expressed landscapes, flowers and birds, people, and everything under the sun; Utagawa Hiroshige, who breathed new life into Ukiyo-e with a focus on illustrations of famous places; Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who greatly made his presence known with his humorous style of painting. Focusing on the masterpieces of these five great Ukiyo-e artists who gained popularity in a variety of genres, such as portraits of beautiful women, actors, and landscapes, approximately 140 pieces will be introduced. In addition, as a special exhibit at the Takamatsu venue, works by Kuniyoshi from the Takamatsu City Museum of History’s collection will also be on display. Four additional pieces will be exhibited, including the triptych "The Ghosts of Taira Warriors Attacking Yoshitsune‘s Ship in Daimotsu Bay", which dynamically depicts a ship being tossed about by huge waves.
Please enjoy the competitive “performance” between the five great stars of Ukiyo-e who gave flair to the Edo period.
