KAZAN - A Superb Imagination at Work

Saturday, September 22 - Sunday, November 11, 2018

This exhibition honors a painter who was once famous but then fell into obscurity. Based in Kyoto, Yokoyama Kazan (1781/4-1837) was a popular painter at the turn of the 19th century. He admired Soga Shôhaku greatly and studied under Ganku, then later expanded his painting range after being inspired by Goshun. As a result, Kazan was proficient in a wide range of painting styles, which enabled him to adopt the best style for each subject of his works. This is the first retrospective exhibition to trace the path of Kazan's diverse career. With around 100 pieces, including works by Soga Shôhaku and Kazan's own pupils, the exhibition reveals the full range of Kazan's career. Some of his works have been returned home for this exhibition from overseas such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the British Museum.
