This exhibition commemorates the 60th anniversary of the death of Japanese painter Matsunaga Kanzan (1902–1965), who was born and raised in Itoshima. Known for his talent from an early age, he later studied under Kikuchi Keigetsu in Kyoto before returning to his hometown, where he pursued his art while supporting the growth of the Fukuoka art community. On display are 30 panels of Shiki Kacho-zu Sugito-e (Four Seasons of Flowers and Birds cedar partition paintings) from the Fukuoka City Museum collection. These works, painted on both sides of cedar partitions that once decorated the Yusentei villa of the Kuroda clan, depict seasonal flowers and birds with a refined touch. The exhibition is presented in two rotations: until Oct 13, and from Oct 15.
