Time for Great Gardens
Time for Great Paintings
It’s time to appreciate the changing colors of the seasons on
the back of mountains with high fog rising. It’s time to be
impressed by the great masters’ brush strokes, and it’s timeto open your ears to the clear calmness of the gardens.
Looking around, you can embrace the comfortable illusionof being in the picture frame. The harmony between the165,000 square meters of gardens and modern Japanesepaintings, including the Yokoyama Taikan Collection, isexquisite. Let the peaceful reflection of the museum refreshyou.

Harmony between Aesthetic Gardens
and Japanese Paintings

According to our founder Adachi Zenko, “A Japanese garden isthought of as a living canvas.” His belief and passion for
gardening have been vividly applied throughout the 165,000square meters of gardens. From the Dry Landscape Garden tothe White Gravel and Pine Garden, the Moss Garden and thePond Garden, the calm and graceful view expands before youat each step. The combination of such a restful atmosphere andJapanese paintings in the building refresh our visitors’ spirits.
Azaleas in spring, fresh greenery in summer, red leaves inautumn, and snow-covered gardens in winter – throughout
the four seasons, the changing scenes of the gardens areenjoyable.

The window itself is a “Living Canvas.” The garden throughthis window is canvas that shows different characteristics
with the shifting sunlight and with each season. It isreminiscent of a Rinpa School folding screen.

The Adachi Museum's gardens have been ranked as number
one in the "Japanese Garden Ranking" since 2003. The
ranking includes more than 900 places throughout Japan,
including historical sites, and was compiled by "The Journalof Japanese Gardening", a US magazine that focuses onJapanese gardens.

The Dry Landscape Garden in Autumn

Features of the Gardens

The White Gravel and Pine Garden inSummer ●This garden beautifully
expresses the atmosphere of Yokoyama
Taikan’s masterpiece, “White Gravel andPine Garden.” The contrast between thewhite gravel and the greenery of thepine trees is impressive.

The Moss Garden ●As the day
dawns, the pine trees are outlinedin the darkness. The elegant
Moss Garden is soon embraced
by morning freshness.

The Pond Garden in Winter ●The clear
water gently ripples, as if setting theYokoyama Taikan Special Exhibition
Room afloat. The surface of the water isclear and fresh like a mirror, reflecting
the snow-covered trees in the garden.

Living Canvas●A window has beenplaced in the wall here.
Visitors can look at
the garden over thehouse through thewindow, as if watchinga living painting. Thisis a major feature ofthe museum.

The Kikaku Waterfall ●This magnificent
15-meter waterfall can be seen over thegarden. It brings a rush of cool air in springand summer, and the dignity of quiet
mountains in autumn and winter.

Great Paintings

Paintings by Modern Japanese
Masters, Together
Adachi Museum of Art houses about 2,000 works in total
mainly by great masters, who flourished in the modern
Japanese art world, including Yokoyama Taikan, Takeuchi
Seiho, Kawai Gyokudo, Uemura Shoen, Hashimoto Kansetsu
and Sakakibara Shiho, taking turns displaying them at thefour special, seasonal exhibitions. The museum is distinguishedby its Taikan collection of 120 works, of which around 20
different works are always displayed. We believe that you
will enjoy the distinct artistic styles of these masterpieces,
as well as the beautiful gardens.

Yokoyama Taikan:
Yokoyama Taikan was instructedby Okakura Tenshin at Tokyo Fine
Art School. He helped to establish
the Japan Art Institute, together
with Tenshin and Hishida Shunso.
Later, he re-established the Institute.
He is best known for suiboku-ga
and deeply colored paintings. From
the Meiji to Taisho and Showa eras,
he built the base of the modern
Japanese art world.

Yokoyama Taikan:
Yokoyama Taikan fut un disciple
de Okakura Tenshin à l’Ecole desBeaux Arts de Tokyo, puis ilparticipa à la fondation de Nihon
Bijustuin (Institut des Arts duJapon) avec Okakura Tenshin etHishida Shunso.
Il échoua, mais ils le restaurèrent.
L’œuvre de Taikan ressortit avec
proéminence en termes depeinture à l’encre et d’images auxcouleurs profondes. Il fonda lapeinture japonaise modernes’étalant de puis les ère Meiji etTaisho jusqu’à l’ère Showa.

Adachi Museum of Art Award
The Adachi Museum of Art Award was established in 1995, themuseum’s 25th anniversary, in order to develop Japanese art and as
part of the museum’s desire to nurture promising Japanese painters.
Every September, the museum selects the best, appropriated work,from among those in the Inten, and purchases it. We hope theworks that have won, and those that will win in the future, keep aprominent place in the modern Japanese painting world, and thatthese works will act as the “new faces” representing the museum.

The two-story annex has an exhibition
room on each floor, and displays 50 –100 works in total. On the first floor,
there is also an Art Theater where
patrons can see explanations of theexhibited works, as well as lecturesand films.
