Nov 3 - Dec 16

The Museum of Modern Art, Wakayama

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Kokuga Sosaku Kyokai (National Painting Creation Association) in Kyoto. It was first formed by five Japanese painters in 1918 and aimed to give artists a forum for free, uninhibited creation that would not be limited by the constraints of existing trends, rules, and values. In this retrospective exhibition, visitors are invited to view around 90 works created by members of this artists’ association, including pieces that have been dubbed Important Cultural Property by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Common motifs of these works include natural landscapes and women dressed in traditional Japanese fashion popular during the early 20th century.
