In April 2021, the special exhibition featuring Bijinga, "Beauty from Every Angle: Bijinga" will be on show by the rearranged list of works with new items to our collection. This time, we offer you an opportunity to view all Bijinga works in the Fukuda Collection.

Ito Jakuchu (1716-1800）who has been gaining popularity recently, was born as the eldest son of the vegetable wholesaler Masuya in the Nishikikoji market in Kyoto.
In the 18th century when Jakuchu was active, Kyoto was the arena of talented and unique painters such as Yosa Buson (1716-1783), Ike no Taiga (1723-1776), Maruyama Okyo (1733-1795), and Soga Sohaku (1730-1781). They accomplished their own painting styles while interacting and influencing each other. This exhibition demonstrates the works of such painters of the same age as Jakuchu to disclose the enchanting power of their works.
