As mentioned in the greeting by the organizer this exhibition presents an overview of Japanese mondern sculpture that has been often overlooked. Sculptors in Meiji-era explored new possibilities of sculpture by keeping traditional wooden sculpture techniques but simultaneously incorporating the realism that they encountered in western art.
This exhibition also juxtaposes modern sculptures with contemporary ones in order to examine the succession of the modern and the new exploration in the medium.
Artists' statements are available for the contemporary artists. List of works, bibliography, and chronology are available.
