July 17, 2024 (Wed) - August 18, 2024 (Sun)The Hashimoto Collection is a globally renowned collection of Chinese paintings collected by Mr. Hashimoto Sueyoshi (1902–1991). In 2023, his grandson, Mr. Hashimoto Taiitsu, gifted 15 paintings from the collection to the Tokyo National Museum. In commemoration of this generous gift, the Museum is displaying the works that we graciously received together with a few other works for this exhibition. The exhibition presents paintings by Ming-dynasty (1368–1644) painters of the imperial court and the Zhe school—a school of professional artists with roots as court painters.
