    The Hashimoto Collection is a world-famous collection of Chinese paintings amassed by Mr. Hashimoto Sueyoshi (1902–1991). In 2024, the Tokyo National Museum received 38 works from the collection through a generous donation from Mr. Hashimoto’s grandson, Mr. Hashimoto Taiitsu. In commemoration of this occasion, the present exhibition mainly features paintings from the collection that were donated to the museum, as well as calligraphy and paintings by the literati of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and works that were closely associated with literati culture.
