An artistic society founded by artists. An artistic society with a hundred-year history. It is Shunyo-kai, a "club" where - since its foundation - the members respect the originality of each one and where the group supports the activities that each member carries out with a free spirit. The founders did not aim to become a group of artists with similar artistic principles. Instead, they preferred "individualism" and believed it was important to respect the originality of each artist. In Shunyo-kai, artists commented on each other's works to further their studies, raise the next generation, and solidify their foundation. In the Shunyo-kai exhibitions, not only oil paintings but also prints, drawings, ink paintings, and original works for newspaper illustrations were presented. Famous yōga painters (Western-style painting) such as Kosugi Hōan, Kimura Shōhachi and Hasegawa Kiyoshi were active in the group of which in this exhibition we will see over 100 works from its foundation in 1922 to the 1950s.
The famous opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - part of the "Lorenzo Da Ponte trilogy", together with The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni - arrives in Tokyo in a grandiose show directed by Norichika Iimori and with the voices of Serena Gamberoni, Daniela Pini and Joel Prieto.
Yuichi Enomoto, Haruka Furusaka, Kiichi Kawamura, Mitsuko Kurashina, mirocomachiko are five artists whose works, born not in remote wilderness but in densely populated places, question the relationship between humans and nature.
The exhibition chronicles how Jōdo Shū - the Pure Land School of Buddhism - spread under the patronage of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo Period (1603-1868). An historical journey through precious works of art, including numerous national treasures and important cultural properties.
Horror manga artist Junji Ito depicts a beautiful but grotesque world. His work has fascinated readers around the world. at the Setagaya Literary Museum a large exhibition presents his drawings and artistic career to the public.
