A master of the early modern period, Konoshima Ōkoku (1877–1938) inherited artistic traditions while incorporating greater realism by sketching from life. He created his own distinctive realm of painting. Now, several years after our 2021 Konoshima Ōkoku Exhibition, the Fukuda Art Museum (Venue 1) and Saga Arashiyama Museum of Arts & Culture (Venue 2) are jointly holding a long-awaited comprehensive retrospective.

To commemorate the 2025 Expo being held here in Kansai, the Fukuda Art Museum is showing superlative works by painters who dared exhibit their art to the world, such as famous Katsushika Hokusai, Yokoyama Taikan and Ōhashi Suiseki.
