Nakaya Yuitsu, Monument - Kojiki (Okinagatarashi and Her Son), 2014

The Art of Stories

This exhibition focuses on art that deals with stories from books such as the Bible and the Kojiki, an eighth-century chronicle of Japanese myths and legends. After an artist’s imagination was sparked by a story and they closely studied the text, they created vivid images of its unique scenes and fictional characters. We carefully examine the artist's ingenuity.

Women Portrayed

Focus on the École de Paris Era

In Paris in the 1920s, known in French as Les années folles (the crazy years), there was an atmosphere of openness and new freedom, and women became active across many fields and pioneered new ways of living. Focusing on this era, the exhibition explores the realities of women in a wide range of positions and circumstances through images of women portrayed by artists of the École de Paris, a loose circle of international artists active in Paris in the early 20th century.
