Tanomura Chikuden and the Bunjin-ga of Kyūshū
Bunjin-ga (literati painting) was introduced to Japan from China during the Edo period, and it was developed by the intellectuals who admired the literati culture. Bunjin-ga flourished in the Bungo province (present day Oita prefecture), and the representative painter is Tanomura Chikuden (1777–1835). A Confucian scholar from the Oka domain (present-day Taketa city, Oita) and well-read in Chinese culture, Chikuden met and exchanged ideas with scholars from various regions, deepening his career as a painter. Through the masterpieces of Chikuden as well as the works of his successor Bungo painters, this exhibition will introduce the profound world of bunjin-ga, which also captured the heart of Idemitsu Sazo.
