25th Anniversary Exhibition
Hand-Painted Ukiyo-e
─The Competition among Moronobu, Shunshō, Hokusai and Others

The exhibition features representative works of hand-painted Ukiyo-e paintings, carefully selected from the Idemitsu collection. Although woodblock prints are generally known as Ukiyo-e, almost all Ukiyo-e artists from the 17th to the 19th century were vigorously engaged in the production of nikuhitsu-ga (hand-painted Ukiyo-e painting), in which they completed the entire work themselves whereas they only created the preparatory sketches for the prints. Ukiyo-e works are the result of the artists' unrelenting concentration of their techniques. We hope that you will enjoy the richness of the expression of these works to your heart’s content.
