Saitoh Ghiju (Yoshishige), A Starting Point

—Artists Intersecting with the World: From the Museum Collection

About the Exhibition

In conjunction with the "Yoshida Katsuro” exhibition, we will focus on the artist Saitoh Ghiju (Yoshishige) (1904–2001), under whom Yoshida Katsuro (1943–1999) studied at Tama Art University. Along with Saitoh's own works, we will exhibit representative pieces by artists who interacted with Saitoh in the 1960s and went on to become active globally, such as Imai Toshimitsu (1928–2002), Sato Kei (1906–1978), and Domoto Hisao (1928–2013). Through materials from the museum’s Saitoh Ghiju Archives, we will also explore Saitoh's activities as an artist and an excellent art teacher, tracing his influence that enabled young artists to leap onto the world stage.
