Description
Insho Domoto was born in Kyoto in 1891.
He entered Kyoto Municipal Special School of Painting in 1918.
He was accepted for the 1st TEITEN Exhibition for the first time and appeared on the Japanese painting circle in the following year.
Even after he graduated, he studied under Suisyo Nishiyama, who was the leader of the painting circle in Kyoto.
He announced his famous works one after another, establishing a strong presence in the Japanese painting circle.
He established his own private painting school, called “Tokyusha”.
He was also a professor at Kyoto Municipal Special School of Painting, and had trained the younger generation. In 1961, he received the Order of Cultural Merit.
Until his death in 1975, he played an active part as one who represented the modern Japanese painting circle.
2015 is the 40th anniversary of Insho Domoto’s death.
On this occasion the museum is bringing together some of his most renowned works from our collection,
such as “Princess Konohanasakuya” depicting the goddess of Japanese myth, “Metro” which portrays passengers in a Paris metro carriage, and “Symphony” which uses traditional Japanese painting materials in a dynamic abstract composition.
We hope you enjoy the breadth of work on show; the result of a varied career of experimenting with different practices.
