2022.03.12 〜 2022.05.22
Ukiyo-e works on the theme of flowers, including Hokusai’s works, are all in one place.
The Sumida Hokusai Museum collects and exhibits works by Katsushika Hokusai, a late Edo period ukiyoe artist born in present-day Sumida-ku, Tokyo, and his students. During the spring and early summer seasons, approximately 100 works of various flowers, including cherry blossoms, will be exhibited, including “Fugaku Sanjurokkei Tokaido Shinagawa Gotenyama no Fujino” (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji) by Katsushika Hokusai.
The highlight of the exhibition is the gathering of 35 varieties of seasonal flowers, including cherry, plum, morning glory, bellflower, camellia, etc., in one place throughout the first and second seasons. Flowers that do not bloom at the same time in the real world are in full bloom in the same space, creating a floral utopia.
Flowers are important icons that convey the seasons. Through viewing artworks related to flowers, which were loved in every aspect of daily life in those days, such as cherry blossom viewing, flowers in stories, and flowers on kimonos and tools, you can see and feel the Japanese people’s love for flowers.
