This is the first time we are introducing the paintings of Kumagai Morikazu. Kumagai Morikazu was born in the village of Tsukechi located in Ena County in Gifu Prefecture (present-day Tsukechi Town in Nakatsugawa City). After graduating from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, he placed himself in nature and created an enormous number of artworks following his impression using his unique “Morikazu style.” This exhibition introduces a full spectrum of his works with a special focus on a series of works that depicts Morikazu’s favorite motifs, such as flowers, cats, birds, and insects. By displaying the works from his early period to the ones after the development of the “Morikazu style,” the exhibition seeks to explore the fascination of Kumagai Morikazu.
