The Japan Foundation, in cooperation with the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Asian art museums at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.), will organize the Tawaraya Sōtatsu exhibition focusing on the works by this Japanese artist of the early Edo period. The exhibition will open on October 24, 2015 run through January 31, 2016.

This exhibition will present approximately 50 works by Sōtatsu and his circle of painters, renowned for their decorative style, along with around 15 modern era paintings from the 1910s onwards (Taishō and later eras) that were influenced by Sōtatsu, to provide a clear sense of how Sōtatsu's arts continue to resonate with artists even today.
