  Kato Eizo & Toichi: Depicting Gifu

  After graduating from the Japanese-style painting department of the Tokyo Fine Arts School (now Tokyo University of the Arts), Kato Eizo & Toichi chose to base themselves in the Kanto region rather than return to their hometown of Gifu. They made their mark on the art world through the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition (Nitten). Despite living away, their deep affection for Gifu remained unchanged. They frequently returned home and created numerous works portraying the region’s iconic scenes—such as cormorant fishing on the Nagara River, Mt. Kinka, and the Takayama Festival. This exhibition features selected works from our museum's collection, including paintings, sketches, and drawings, all centered on their depictions of Gifu.
