A Little Understanding of Japanese Art: Suiboku Museum Edition
Summary
Since its opening in 1999, the Suiboku Museum has continuously collected, preserved, and exhibited mainly ink paintings and Japanese-style paintings from the Meiji era onward, as well as works connected to Toyama. This exhibition is designed as a guidebook-like event that even those unfamiliar with the museum can enjoy, delving into the materials that make up artworks, the backs of works, and the flow of Japanese art history from new perspectives through the Suibi collection. It displays about 40 diverse works, including must-see ink and Japanese-style paintings as well as crafts and swords rarely shown in exhibition rooms. The exhibition runs from November 20, 2026 (Friday) to January 17, 2027 (Sunday). Admission is 600 yen for general visitors and others. Closed on Mondays (open on November 23 and January 11), November 24, December 29 to January 3, and January 12. The exhibition aims to bring visitors a little closer to Japanese art and deepen their familiarity with the Suibi museum.
