Lecture: Rediscovery! Atsugi Painter Utagawa Kunitsune

About this event

This lecture aims to rediscover the charm of Utagawa Kunitsune, a painter associated with Atsugi City. In early modern times, Atsugi, an important transportation hub, absorbed Edo commoner culture, with painters and literati flourishing primarily around Atsugi-shuku and Ogino-shinjuku. Local temples and shrines preserve paintings and furnishings that reflect religious devotion and harmonized with daily life, which serve as valuable records illustrating the rich culture and history of Atsugi. In this lecture, Genichi Hiramoto, a member of the Atsugi City History Compilation Expert Committee, will serve as guest lecturer to examine Utagawa Kunitsune's works and their background. In this autumn of arts, it offers an ideal opportunity to experience the region's distinctive culture and history.
