Exhibition "Courtly Hokusai: Heian Literature in Edo", Sep 18–Nov 24
We are honored to announce that the exhibition of "The Courtly Hokusai: Heian Literature in Edo" will be held from September 18 to November 24, 2024 at the Sumida Hokusai Museum in Sumida City, Tokyo.
Depictions of imperial court customs and literature flourished during the Edo period (1603-1867), in the context of research on the Heian period (794-1185) and education in the classics, a thriving publishing industry, and the widespread circulation of books. Hokusai and his students created many works that envisioned Murasaki Shikibu and other Heian-period figures and life in the imperial capital and that took their subjects from court literature, including The Tale of Genji and The Tales of Ise. These artists went beyond simply turning scenes from tales into paintings or depicting the meanings of poems. They also created works that incorporate designs associated with court literature in kimonos and accessories.
This exhibition presents works related to the Heian period or court culture by Hokusai and his associates, Edo-period painters. It also introduces those artists‘ images of the Heian period and of the world of court literature, and their ramifications. Please enjoy the courtly grace of the Heian world alive and well in Edo.
