Otake Impact: The anarchism of Japanese painting by the Otake brothers, Koshido, Takeha, and Kunikan

The special exhibition "Otake Impact: Etsudo, Chikuha, and Kokukan, the Anarchism of Japanese Painting by the Three Otake Brothers" will be held at the Izumiya Hakukokan Tokyo Museum of Art. It will introduce the three brothers, Otake Etsudo, Chikuha, and Kokukan, Japanese painters. The three Otake brothers were born in Niigata Prefecture and were successful in the Ministry of Education Art Exhibitions and other events from the Meiji to Showa periods, making them the "children of exhibitions." However, because Chikuha and others attempted experimental and radical expressions, they have been rarely mentioned in art history. This exhibition will display important works by the three Otake brothers, as well as many newly discovered works and unpublished materials, and will explore their personalities and the pinnacle of exhibition art.
