Katsushika Hokusai, the archetypical late-Edo master of ukiyo-e, is immensely popular both inside and outside Japan, and the large number of outstanding works assembled by numerous collectors now in the collection of the British Museum is especially noteworthy. This exhibition primarily includes works from the British Museum’s collection, to which Suntory Museum has added some brush-drawn paintings from Japanese collections with the aim of illustrating changes over time in Hokusai’s work. It also focuses on the collectors who assembled the works in the British Museum’s collection to highlight aspects of their love of Japanese art. https://www.suntory.co.jp/sma/exhibition/2022_2/index.html
