To attempt a huge Nihonga painting, 70 meters, one of the largest paintings in Japan, Shunei NISHIDA, moved to Yakushi-ma Island, where he painted Phoenix on a huge scale, moved and inspired by the unspoiled forests there. This exhibition, with Phoenix as its core, traces the works from Nishida’s youth-ful starting point and, through studying abroad in India, his depictions of landscapes, animals, human beings, and flowers with deep affection and delicate brushwork in the Japanese spirit of treating all of creation as divine.
