Asia Week New York Autumn 2026

Our  Asia  Week New York exhibition focuses on Japanese fine art from the 17th century to the present day,  Highlights are an early 17th-century six-panel screen depicting scenes from the Chinese imperial court and a pair of screens from circa 1620 showing places along the Tokaido road. Later screens include a composition on gold-leaf of blooming cherry and maple from the early 1800s and screens by modern masters of the early 20th century.

At the heart of the show is a group of hanging scrolls by leading painters of the Taisho and early Showa eras, among them Yamamoto Shunkyo, Kikuchi Keigetsu, Ikeda Yoson, and Konoshima Okoku. This was a period in which artists working for the domestic market brought new naturalism and Western experimentation to traditional formats.

Alongside the paintings, the exhibition features ikebana bamboo baskets by masters including Tanabe Chikuunsai II and Hayakawa Shōkosai III, as well as bronzes ranging from mid-century vessels by Hasuda Shūgorō and Yoneda Bisho to works from 2025 by the contemporary artist Koji Hatakeyama.
