The founder of the museum, Matsuoka Seijiro, was familiar with Gidayu from a young age. During wartime, he visited soldiers to entertain them and gave passionate performances. He was also involved in the establishment of the Gidayu Association, a general incorporated association, which was launched in 1970, and provided financial support. In his art collection, he has amassed a large number of paintings themed around Bunraku. He also has a collection of other paintings themed around Noh masks and Noh and Kabuki, which suggests that he was a broad lover of traditional performing arts. This time, we will guide you into the world of traditional performing arts, focusing on paintings themed around Bunraku, Noh, Kabuki, and more.

The Japan Camera Museum (Director: Kei Tanino) will hold a special exhibition, "From the 19th Century to the 21st Century: Jumping Out! Expanding! The History of Stereo and Panoramic Cameras" from Tuesday, October 29, 2024 to Sunday, February 2, 2025. A stereo camera is a camera that uses two lenses side by side to capture the same subject. When you view the two photos with each eye using a viewer, you can see the subject in three dimensions. Panoramic cameras are cameras that capture a wide range, and various types have been made, such as those that use ultra-wide-angle lenses and those that rotate the lens or camera body. Today, there are more and more news about XR (cross reality), VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), MR (mixed reality), and other technologies, and opportunities to actually experience them are increasing. The challenge to realize these did not start in modern times, but has been undertaken since the 1830s, when the imaging medium "photography" was born, and it is clear that people have long sought imaging and visual experiences. This special exhibition focuses on cameras that take "stereo (three-dimensional) photographs" and "panoramic photographs," which could be said to be the origins of such visual experiences, and introduces the process of their evolution. Actual materials will be exhibited tracing the history of cameras that take stereo photographs, viewing devices, and cameras that take panoramic photographs. Additionally, one part of the venue will have a corner where you can actually view stereo photographs, as well as an exhibition of panoramic photographs.

The Ishibashi Foundation Collection now consists of approximately 3,000 works, including Impressionist paintings from the latter half of the nineteenth century, modern paintings from the twentieth century, modern Japanese paintings from the Meiji period on, postwar Abstract paintings, early modern art from Japan and elsewhere in East Asia, and ancient Greek and Roman art. Here we introduce, throughout the year, a variety of works selected from the collection. Special Section Matisse’s Studio Interiors were consistently important elements in paintings by Henri Matisse (1869-1954). Particularly from the 1940s on, his studio was a vitally important space, where daily life and creating came together. This exhibition, in connection with the acquisition of his Dancer and Rocaille Armchair, Black Background (1942), explores, through works in the Ishibashi Foundation Collection and from multiple viewpoints, the role of the studio in Matisse’s paintings.

Pliny the Elder’s encyclopedic Naturalis Historia (77 CE) includes the story of the daughter of a ceramic tile maker in Corinth, a city in ancient Greece, wanting a record of the young man she loved, who was setting out on a trip. She drew an outline of his shadow on the wall. In the latter half of the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century, that story was often mentioned as the origin of painting. In fact, if we look at the history of art in Europe, “depicting a person,” figure painting, has long been a significant element in creating works. For example, self-portraits have been both opportunities to display one’s skill and experimental settings for trying new styles. Portrait painting has been a staple source of painters’ livelihoods. In addition to actual human figures, portraits also depict the characters in stories. This exhibition introduces the abundance of paintings of the human figure.
