FUKUTOMI TARO Collection:
FUKUTOMI Taro, a Japanese businessman who was nicknamed the Cabaret King, was also an avid collector from his youth of art works that interested him, and demonstrated brilliance in that aspect of his life as well. Initially, FUKUTOMI started his collection with works by KABURAKI Kiyokata, but he went on to expand its scope buying works that he believed to be good. The fact that the FUKUTOMI Taro Collection has lent many works to exhibitions of Japanese modern art held throughout Japan demonstrates the high quality of the collection and Fukutomi’s excellent discernment. This exhibition focuses on Taro Fukutomi’s vision in seeking out works of art. It represents the first opportunity ever to get an overview of this truly remarkable collection, not only its bijin-ga.
The FUKUTOMI Taro Collection includes a wide variety of works, from Western-style paintings in the early Meiji period to genre and war paintings that reflect the atmosphere of the times.
In addition to many superb bijin-ga, including a dozen or so by KABURAKI Kiyokata, the more than 80 works of art in this fascinating exhibition include oil paintings that range from the dawn of Western-style painting in Japan to the Second World War.
