Japanese-style Painting
Modern and contemporary Japanese-style paintings represent one of the highlights of the Pola Museum of Art. The collection has been built around works of artists who profoundly influenced Japanese-style painting of the Showa era, such as Maeda Seison, Yasuda Yukihiko of the Nihon Bijutsuin (Japan Art institute), and Tokuoka Shinsen and Fukuda Heihachiro who worked in Kyoto.
