Kahitsukan is honoring the life of artist Asada Takashi with a retrospective exhibition of his works 30 years after his death. The Kyoto-born painter is best known for his serene landscapes both in and around the city he called home for 33 years before moving to Tokyo to continue his career. He painted in an attempt to capture the universal beauty of nature, stating that a simple scenic view can enchant us and inspire a personal experience without warning. Some 40 works are on display, including a variety of sketches, paintings, and a series of folding-screen paintings featuring the Three Views of Japan: the pine-clad islands of Matsushima, the sandbar of Amanohashidate, and the torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine.
