Bunrei Maekawa was a painter active during the tumultuous age from the late Edo period to the Meiji period, and he was a central figure in the Shijō Faction, which was the core of the Kyoto art world.
This exhibition primarily features Bunrei’s works entrusted to our museum, and also introduces works by his father Gorei, his son Kōrei, spanning three generations, as well as works by other painters associated with them.
