Just as Van Goch and Modigliani, many artists can be found in Japan, who changed their tragic fate into the source food for the creation of to create the splendid work.
The exhibitions focus on the ill-starred destiny of the artists and take a closer look on the drama behind their works.
This is the first joint exhibition of two museums located in Arashiyama - the Fukuda Art Museum and Saga Arashiyama Museum of Arts & Culture.

Takeuchi Seiho (1864-1942), a genius of Japanese style painting, emerged from Kyoto, the city which has nurtured the traditional culture for more than one thousand years.
This exhibition showcases Seiho's popular animal paintings and large-sized landscapes as well as the works of his teacher Kono Bairei and his colleagues who were reputed as "big four," and the works of his students with various individualities.
