Our Finest New Acquisitions: A Select 50, Chosen by Our Curators

 Exhibition Concept

Since 1989, Sumida City, Tokyo, has been collecting a wide range of works related to Hokusai and his pupils. The collection is now quite varied, ranging from Hokusai’s iconic Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series to rare brush-drawn paintings, unique items that only The Sumida Hokusai Museum owns. This exhibition displays fifty works that our curators have chosen from among the brush-drawn paintings, prints, and woodblock-printed books acquired since the our museum opened in 2016. Many are being exhibited for the first time. We hope that the exhibition will be an opportunity to experience anew Hokusai’s fascination and his impact. Please enjoy these masterworks by Hokusai and his pupils.
