When entering the venue, Buddha statues of one wooden (a technique to dig a whole body from one timber) line up and invite us to the world of quiet prayer.
While Buddha's appearance is based on Scripture, masterpieces with innovative techniques and impressive shaping are inherited and lead to the birth of further masterpieces. In Chapter 1, we focus on the statues of wooden sculptures of Nara and Heian, Female Bodhisattva statues, Anthropomorphic paintings drawn on the big screen, and introduce the "form of prayer" of people who have been handed down from the ancient times to the Middle Ages I will.

Mr. Yasuhiro Sato, a professor at the University of Tokyo who gave an explanation of the exhibition at the exhibition, said, "These days, they are called" cat creatures "" genius painters "" genius painters ", but I want to eradicate this designation Haha). Did not an artist be an effort? "
A masterpiece is not created suddenly by a genius but it is born from the accumulation of history and the repetition of imitation and searching. In this chapter, we will focus on the three "master" such as Sesshu etc. Yang, Tawaraya Munezu, Ito Jakuchu, we will approach the process by which the master of Japanese art history learned and succeeded in the work of the predecessor.

In the section on the theme of "Jakuchu and imitation" in chapter 2, the exhibition of Chinese paintings which served as an example, and the replica of Kano Okami, a painter of the generation earlier than Jakuchu, was exhibited along with Jakuchu's "White cranes drawing". I will introduce the difference clearly.
"The grammar and search which became model are drawing white feathers as wings using the white paint, but the wings of Jakuchu are striving to reproduce the shape like a leaf vein just about it It is a result that it is conspicuous.The trend of Jakuchu which is overwhelmed by the fun of such "form" is well shown. "
While exhibiting creativity in the process of imitation like this, Jakuchi occasionally used his past works as a base to create more masterpieces.
