During the Meiji Restoration as the Japanese political system was being consolidated under the new emperor, the government led numerous efforts to promote domestic industries and exports abroad, sparking an increased international interest in Japanese art. In Kansai, part of this movement involved the establishment of the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting, where students received practical training and instruction from diverse Nihon-ga painters seeking to ensure that traditional classical designs were adapted to meet contemporary demands. In this exhibition, guests have an opportunity to examine Meiji crafts alongside a carefully selected series of Nihon-ga pieces representing Japanese aesthetic sensibilities during this transition into the modern age.
