Masterpieces from the Japanese painting collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art

This exhibition showcases masterpieces from this collection of Japanese art, with a focus on Edo-period paintings, including works by artists from the Kano school and Rinpa tradition, as well as ukiyo-e artists. Through this selection of masterly works by widely admired artists, including Sesson Shūkei, Kano Sansetsu, Itō Jakuchū, Soga Shōhaku, Katsushika Hokusai, and Tōshūsai Sharaku, the exhibition traces the evolution of Japanese painting while also giving a sense of the intentions of the American collectors fascinated by Japanese art who acquired these works and later bequeathed or donated them to the museum.
