Exhibition Highlights

Ike no Taiga (1723–1776) and Yosa Buson (1716–1783), two artists active during the mid-Edo period, are known as masters of Japanese literati painting. The National Treasure Ten Conveniences and Ten Pleasures (1771; collection of the Kawabata Yasunari Foundation), which is famous as a competitive collaboration between these two artists, was formerly owned by Shimozato Gakkai (1742–1790), a wealthy merchant of the Narumi-juku post station (now the Midori ward of Nagoya City).
This exhibition commemorating 250 years since the birth of Ten Conveniences and Ten Pleasures will feature masterpieces of literati painting by Taiga and Buson as well as their collaborations. It will also include related materials and works by artists with connections to Owari Province in order to explore the relationship between Taiga and Buson and this region.
