Exhibition Overview
This exhibition presents works depicting samurai, but not just famous warriors such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu. To Hokusai, who lived the Edo period, samurai were a familiar presence. These samurai also include people who lived, during two and a half centuries of peace, beside Hokusai and his pupils in the city of Edo, samurai as those artists saw them. Works depicting both actual battles and battle scenes as described in tales are also on display.
Exhibition Highlights
This exhibition also includes works picturing swords, spears, and other battle gear. A Tachi signed NOBUFUSA saku (Important Cultural Property) from the collection of the Japanese Sword Museum will join other artifacts on display. As you compare actual swords with their depictions, enjoy, as you let your imagination run free, Hokusai’s powers of expression.
*Unauthorized reproduction or diversion of work-images is forbidden.*Some exhibits will be changed during the exhibition period.
