Exhibition Overview

In the Exhibition Plus room, there is a real-sized high-quality replica of the Hokusai picture scroll, the “Scenery on Both Banks of the Sumida River” with a total length of about 7m. In the feature exhibition "Spears Drawn by Hokusai", we show seven books depicting spears, for example, “Sketches by Hokusai” and also from our museum collection, a real spear used in the Siege of Osaka in 1615. Let your imagination run wild, please enjoy Hokusai's descriptive power by comparing his drawing manual books such as "Sketches by Hokusai" and the real spear in our museum collection which was handed down to the Mizuno family, Shingu domain (today’s Shingū city, Wakayama prefecture). We also exhibit full-scale replica drawing manual books, such as “Sketches by Hokusai”. Please pick them up and enjoy browsing them.
