Cooperating Institutions

It has been a great pleasure for the Tokyo National Museum to work with the Philadelphia Museum of Art in organizing the magnificent exhibition Ike Taiga and Tokuyama Gyokuran: Japanese Masters of the Brush. Established 130 years ago, the Philadelphia Museum of Art houses a rich collection of Japanese art that it has shared with the public not only in its galleries but in a variety of exhibitions. In 2000, in conjunction with Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs, it organized the major exhibition The Arts of Hon’ami Kōetsu, Japanese Renaissance Master, which captivated American audiences and introduced them to many of the charms of Japanese art.

The present exhibition offers a comprehensive look at the careers of a distinguished artist of the Edo period and his talented poet and painter wife, and represents the first time that so many important works by Taiga and Gyokuran have been shown together. Among the numerous masterpieces from Japanese museums, temples, and private collections to be found in these pages is Taiga’s Landscape with Pavilions, a designated National Treasure that the Tokyo National Museum is fortunate to have in its collection.

Ike Taiga and Tokuyama Gyokuran: Japanese Masters of the Brush offers a splendid opportunity for the American public to enjoy Japanese art. It is hoped that it will also promote many more cultural exchanges between Japan and the United States.

TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM

The Osaka Municipal Museum of Art is pleased to have had the privilege of offering special assistance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in organizing the exhibition Ike Taiga and Tokuyama Gyokuran: Japanese Masters of the Brush.

Taiga and Gyokuran lived and worked in the Kansai region of western Japan, where so many of their important works are preserved. As masters of the Chinese literati style, called Nanga in Japanese, they were eighteenth-century pioneers who paved the way for artists of later periods to work in this new mode. This is the first exhibition to be devoted exclusively to the paintings of these two artists, and as such it is a significant event for both American museum visitors and scholars of Japanese art.

The long history of ties between Philadelphia and Japan has been furthered and celebrated through this superb exhibition, which will help to broaden understanding of Japanese art and culture among American audiences.
