Kyoto and Musashino: Two Favorite Locales of Mukai Junkichi

Overview

MUKAI Junkichi (1901–1995) was a Western-style painter of traditional thatched-roof minka houses during a period when they were beginning to vanish from the Japanese landscape. Here we focus on his views of places near his hometown of Kyoto as well as in the Musashino district of western Tokyo and neighboring Saitama Prefecture, two of his most frequented locales. Around Kyoto he was drawn to old houses in rural settings like Ohara, Tamba, and Sagano in autumn and winter, while in early spring, when the plum trees bloomed, he favored the minka of Musashino. These works testify to the love Mukai felt for the landscapes of the two regions.
