[Yamato Bunka-kan] Appreciate a slightly different portrait painting “Issho Ippin(One smile, One frown) -Faces drawn in Japanese art-” will be held
2022.08.21
Issho Ippin(One smile, One frown) is a slight change in facial expression, such as a smile or a furrowed brow.
From August 19 (Fri.) to October 2 (Sun.), 2022, the exhibition “Issho Ippin: Faces drawn in Japanese art,” which includes a number of portraits from the collection of the Daiwa Bunka-kan and other works depicting striking faces, will be held.
Approaching the beauty and charm that appear in the facial expressions of people depicted in Japanese art
While there are paintings that clearly depict the joy and discomfort of a person through their faces and gestures, there are also works that make it difficult to read their feelings just by looking at their facial expressions.
In this exhibition, we will explore the beauty and charm of the expressions of people depicted in Japanese art, while also introducing the stories and interpretations behind the works.
By paying attention to their faces and gestures, you will be able to see them more closely.
Please enjoy the many masterpieces while keeping your eyes open so as not to miss Issho Ippin.
