About this event

The "Shunso Hishida Permanent Exhibition Phase 62: Kiku Jido and Autumn Paintings" held at the Iida City Museum is part of a permanent exhibition showcasing works by Shunso Hishida, a Japanese-style painter from Iida City. In Phase 62, paintings that evoke the feeling of autumn, such as "Kiku Jido" (Chrysanthemum Boy) and "Yu no Mori" (Evening Forest), are scheduled to be exhibited. After graduating from the Tokyo Fine Arts School, Shunso Hishida experimented with innovative painting styles such as "Morotai" (vague/haziness style) under the guidance of Tenshin Okakura, leaving a major mark on the modernization of Japanese painting. His works have influenced many painters, and visitors can experience his artistry up close. Through this exhibition, you can experience the world of Shunso Hishida, filled with autumn sentiment.
