Description

Held under the diminutives ‘Shiten’ (Municipal Exhibition) in the pre-war period and ‘Kyoten’ (Kyoto Exhibition) in the postwar period, this public juried exhibition of the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art holds eighty years of history. These Shiten and Kyoten have been gateways to success that have allowed artists from not only Kyoto but the West Japan region to leave the nest. Through these historical public juried exhibitions, this exhibition allows us to take into account what art has aimed at across different periods.
