Museum Eki KYOTO Hokusai Exhibit

hokusai exhibit生誕250年記念展「北斎の富士 冨嶽三十六景と冨嶽百景」

The Kyoto Eki Bijutsukan, located on the 7th floor of the Kyoto Station Building, will be hosting an exhibit of works by Hokusai.

Hokusai is perhaps the preeminent ukiyoe painter. He lived from 1760 - 1849; the exhibit is a celebration of the 250th anniversary of his birth.

Hokusai lived to almost 90 and painted women, historical scenes, natural scenes, samurai, satirical works known as tanka, and more.

However, Hokusai is best known - both within Japan and abroad - for his depictions of Mount Fuji.

This exhibition will feature many of Hokusai's works, both the Fuji works and others.


Information

The Museum Eki KYOTO is open from 10 am - 8 pm. The entrance fee is 700 yen for adults. The exhibit runs from January 2 - 22.
