July 18 (Sat) - September 23 (Wed), 2026
Active in the mid-19th century, the ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) made musha-e (warrior pictures) based on the classic Chinese novel Shui hu zhan (The Water Margin) along with a diverse range of other works such as bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and landscapes. In this exhibition, we introduce the captivating world of Kuniyoshi through some 200 ukiyo-e works and immersive videos.

ANDREW WYETH―Boundaries or Windows
October 3（Sat） – December 6（Sun）2026
Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) is widely regarded as one of the foremost figures of 20th-century American figurative painting. While postwar American art movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Neo-Dada, and Pop Art gained prominence, Wyeth remained apart from these trends, dedicating himself to depicting the people and landscapes closest to him.
His works go beyond realistic portrayals of the visible world and reflect the artist’s spiritual landscape.
Throughout his oeuvre, Wyeth repeatedly employed motifs that suggest boundaries, including windows and doors. Although the theme of boundaries has long been explored in the history of Western art, for Wyeth these motifs functioned as points of connection, or of separation, to a deeply personal inner world.
Focusing on Wyeth’s distinctive representation of boundaries, this exhibition invites visitors to experience the unique world he created through his art.
