The Sky and Minka: MUKAI Junkichi’s Houses and the Weather

Overview

MUKAI Junkichi (1901-1995) was a Western-style painter who devoted his life to depicting traditional thatched-roof houses (minka). Hovering above his houses and landscapes are skies of many moods—some cloudless, others dark and rain-threatening, still others filled with sunlight piercing the clouds after a rain. Perhaps Mukai’s skies reflect the moods of the artist himself. Here the museum presents a selection of his works that highlight the sky and the weather.
