Once-in-a-Lifetime Landscapes:
Mukai Junkichi’s House Travelogue

Overview

For a 40-year period after World War II, Mukai Junkichi devoted himself to painting traditional thatched houses, which were in the process of disappearing. Each of Mukai’s trips was a series of encounters with irreplaceable landscapes. This exhibition focuses on these once-in-a-lifetime occurrences, including scenes that Mukai painted after spotting them from the train window, houses that sank to the bottom of a lake due to the construction of a dam. There are landscapes that Mukai painted all over Japan that are imbued with a sense of sorrow.
