MAETA KANJI — Poesy and Realism: In Commemoration of his 130th Birth and the Centennial of the 1930 Society

Saturday, July 4 - Sunday, August 30, 2026

*Tickets can be purchased from HERE

Despite passing away at the age of 33, Maeta Kanji (1896–1930) left a significant mark on modern Western-style painting in Japan. He pursued a fusion of poetic sensibility and realism, rooted in the traditions of Western-style painting, and created art that took many different forms. To celebrate the 130th anniversary of Maeta’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the 1930 Society, of which he was a founding member, this exhibition explores the evolution of his prolific artistic career. It also features works by his 1930 Society colleagues, offering a closer look at the significance of Maeta’s art.

SUIKODEN The Water Margin: Outlaws of the Marsh

Saturday, September 19 - Sunday, November 8, 2026

*Advance tickets are available online from August 1 to September 18, 2026.

The Water Margin is one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature. Set at the end of the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127), it follows the exploits of a group of outlaws led by Song Jiang. This exhibition invites visitors to engage with Chinese and Japanese art through the lens of the novel while also exploring how the story’s ideals of duty and loyalty have been portrayed and perceived throughout history. In doing so, the exhibition offers a space to reflect on each era’s social conditions and ideologies, and by extension, those of the world we live in today.
