Setsu Asakura: A Centennial Retrospective
Please check our Health and Safety Measures before your visiting.
About the Exhibition
This is the first full-scale retrospective of Setsu Asakura (1922–2014), who was active as a painter and a stage designer. Born as the elder daughter of the sculptor Fumio Asakura(1883–1964) in Yanaka, Tokyo, she studied under the Japanese-style painter Shinsui Ito from age 17. Her talent in portraying modern figures with a refined sense of colors was recognized from early on. In this exhibition, in addition to approximately 40 hitherto unknown Japanese-style paintings and drawings painted in the first half of her life, the versatile charms of Setsu Asakura are introduced through approximately 200 original paintings for picture books and models and drawings for her stage designs.
