From December 6, 2022 (Tue) to February 5, 2023 (Sun), “In Commemoration of Junno Uemura’s Receipt of the Order of Culture, Flower and Bird Paintings with Heart: Uemura Shoko and Junno” will be held.
The flower-and-bird paintings by Uemura Shoko and Junno are not reproductions of our everyday space on silk or paper. What is depicted is a beautiful world created in the artist’s mind.
The two artists have continued to depict the world of birds and flowers, which they believe is the essence of oriental painting. In this exhibition, visitors will be able to enjoy the beautiful world created from the hearts of both Shoko and Junno through approximately 90 works by both artists.
During the exhibition period, in commemoration of the 2022 Order of Cultural Merit awarded to the museum’s director, Uemura Atsuyuki, an art lecture and discussion with Sakakibara Yoshiro (professor emeritus at Kyoto City University of Arts) will also be held, and a commemorative postcard featuring the “Flower and Bird of the Four Seasons” design will be presented to all visitors to the museum.

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.
