This special exhibition explores the work of Maruyama Ōkyo, a leading artist of the Edo period known for his keen observation and realistic depictions based on studying real-life subjects. Ōkyo's pursuit of lifelike representation won widespread support and gave rise to the Maruyama school of painting. The exhibition presents a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre, from his early to late works. A particular focus is placed on his spatial compositions, especially the group of painted sliding doors from Daijo Temple in Hyogo Prefecture, showcasing how he transformed entire rooms into unified artistic spaces. Visitors can experience Ōkyo’s groundbreaking approach through his realistic techniques and dynamic, expansive compositions that revolutionized Japanese painting.
