This special exhibition will feature the second exhibition of works by painter Ono Motoe. Ono Motoe was the older brother of dyeing and weaving artist Shimura Fukumi, and had a major influence on the formation of Fukumi's artistic spirit. Ono Motoe was born in Osaka in 1919 as the eldest son of the Ono family. He studied at Kyoto Second Industrial Ceramics Department and Bunka Gakuin in Ochanomizu, and although he had hopes of becoming an independent painter, he contracted tuberculosis and his short life ended before he could achieve his goals.
You can sense his strong conviction in these Buddhist paintings, which he risked his life to create. Works that were not on display at his first exhibition in 2020 will be on display. Please take this opportunity to see them in person.
