Kyosai (1831-89) began studying Ukiyo-e prints, and later studied painting under the Kano school. His unique expressions were especially valued in the international market, yet there has not been a major exhibition featuring his works.
The exhibition marks the 120th year since Kyosai's death, and features earlier works and masterpieces.
