Collection Highlights
Japanese-Style Paintings
Our collection of Japanese-style works is based around nihon-ga, a genre which originated in the late nineteenth century as a modern form of painting, produced with with nikawa resin on paper or silk fabric. The collection focuses particularly around post-war artists who pursued a unique form of expression, such as Tamako Kataoka, Makoto Mikami, Masayoshi Nakamura, Hoshun Yamaguchi, and Fuku Shoji. Together with also our ancient mandalas and suiboku-ga (monochrome ink paintings) works, the collection numbers around 350.
