Time with living things

2025 Sat May 17 〜 2025 Sun July 6

Closed: Mon. June 2


TANIUCHI Rokuro created approximately 1,300 cover paintings over a quarter of a century, from the first issue of Shukan Shincho in 1956 until his death in 1981. The museum introduces the world of Rokuro Taniuchi's cover paintings from various perspectives, changing the works each year.  
The first exhibition in 2025 is titled “Time with living things,” and introduces the “creatures” depicted in his cover paintings. Children always play a leading role in the cover art of Shukan Shincho. Various kinds of creatures can be found by the child's side, on the path he/she always walks, in familiar places, or even appear in the child's imaginary world. Please pay attention to the different types and sizes of dogs, insects, goldfish, birds, horses, cows, and so on.
