“Kodai no Ibuki (Breath of Antiquity)“ Exhibition Main Image: Kwon Jinkyu ”Self-engraved Portrait” (Bequest of ToshimaYasumasa)The exhibition, titled “Kodai no Ibuki (Breath of Antiquity)” (Period: Jul. 29, 2025 – Nov. 29, 2025), will focus on collections that remind us of the Jomon and ancient civilizations and connect us to the eternal time. The highlight of the exhibition will be the sculpture “Self-engraved Portrait” by Kwon Jinkyu (Bequest of Toshima Yasumasa), which will be exhibited for the first time at our gallery. Kwon Jinkyu was a senior student of Toshima Yasumasa at Musashino Art School, and the two had a great artistic influence on each other. Visitors will be able to see the masterpieces of Kwon Jinkyu that were entrusted to Toshima. In addition, sculptures by Kosaka Keiji, who interacted with Takamura Kotaro, and other works donated by his bereaved family will be combined with calligraphy by Hakuin Ekaku and ancient, Jomon-style paintings by Western-style artists Hirano Ryo, Yamaguchi Takeo, and Koshino Junko. We hope you will feel the “Breath of Antiquity”.
Additionally, the August 1 issue of ARTIS No. 36 will explore the theme of “Kodai no Ibuki (Breath of Antiquity,” the same as the exhibition. [Opening Page] features Kwon Jinkyu’s “Self-engraved Portrait,” while [Free Project] Here and Now explores the connection between Hakuin Ekaku’s vey late-life calligraphy piece “Hyaku Jyu (One Hundred Felicities)” and the Jomon period. In [Contribution] My Eyes, Mr. Hanshi, a “Tankyushin no zasshoku-ka (Curious Omnivore),” shares a lighthearted short essay on the Gassan sword. We hope you will pick up a copy and enjoy it.
