Simplified Paintings - Bouncing Brushes, Dancing Lines -

In Katsushika Hokusai's drawing manuals, motifs depicted in simplified paintings frequently appear. The various motifs captured with simplified lines not only serve as merely simplified illustrations but also possess the charm of flowing lines and soft shapes. This exhibition will primarily introduce the simplified paintings found in Hokusai's woodblock prints, including letter drawings and grass paintings. Let's enjoy the world of simplified paintings, where even simple lines do not lose the shape of the subject, but rather bring it to life.
