Venue
Insho Domoto was born in Kyoto in 1891.
He entered Kyoto Municipal Special School of Painting in 1918.
He was accepted for the 1st TEITEN Exhibition for the first time in the following year and appeared on the Japanese painting circle.
Even after he graduated, he studied under Suisyo Nishiyama, who was the leader of the painting circle in Kyoto.
He announced his famous works one after another, establishing a strong presence in the Japanese painting circle.
He established his own private painting school, called “Tokyusha”.
He was also a professor at Kyoto Municipal Special School of Painting, and had trained the younger generation. In 1961, he received the Order of Cultural Merit.
Until his death in 1975, he played an active part as one who represented the modern Japanese painting circle.
2015 is the 40th anniversary of Insho Domoto’s death.
Between December 10, 2014 and April 12, 2015 the museum held the “Domoto Insho: A Retrospective – 40th anniversary of His Death”, which covered Insho’s artistic career from his early beginnings to his last years through major works from our collection including “Princess Konohanasakuya” and “Symphony”.
The current exhibition “Retrospective II” shows his work mainly from other collections, such as “Kegon”, a masterpiece of Buddhist painting, a highlight of Insho’s art practice and “Woman Drinking Tea”, Fusuma Paintings in Shinden of Chishakuin-Temple, depicting women in Japanese-style and Western-style dress drinking tea together.
We hope these additional images provide greater insight into Insho Domoto’s art.
