A collection of exquisitely executed paintings, including examples of mixed-period ‘rakuchu rakugai-zu’ paintings of city scenes, and his ‘ fusuma’ sliding door painting for Byodoin Temple, ‘musha-e’ samurai fight scenes and various sketches. While focusing on the true painterly expressiveness that is Yamaguchi’s forte, this ground-breaking new collection also presents his tearoom-parody objects d’art, and his self-produced exhibitions that act as warning signs to the world contemporary art, thereby providing an excellent overview of the multi-layered thought of Akira Yamaguchi.
