At the Yamato Bunkakan, a special exhibition “Recluse Landscape” is currently being held, focusing on Japanese works that depict scenes filled with tranquility.
Why were landscape paintings drawn and appreciated?
From the Muromachi period to the Edo period, we will decipher the significance and charm of landscape paintings that have been loved for centuries from the perspective of “recluse”.
Zen monks who drew ideal studies nestled in the waterside or in the mountains,
The Kano style painters who depicted powerful and well-ordered natural landscapes,
Literature painters who demonstrated their individuality based on Chinese paintings,
We will look at landscape paintings drawn with various expressions, such as the sketching school that created landscape paintings that are full of reality as if they were actually seen.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
