MUKAI Junkichi’s works often feature traditional houses situated amid vast natural landscapes, but he also painted ordinary scenes of grasslands, seaside cliffs, and rural pathways. Something about these unembellished views, encountered in the course of his travels in search of old houses, seems to have moved Mukai deeply. This exhibition introduces some these “nameless landscapes” alongside the paintings of minka houses for which he is best known.
