Yayoi Kusama has constantly faced the critical realities of life and death as pressing issues. Her experience of the Pacific War in a complex family environment, along with her overcoming of suicidal impulses triggered by trauma and neurosis through her creative practices, has influenced her perception of these issues. This exhibition unveils Kusama’s evolving outlook on life and death, alongside the corresponding shifts in her artistic presentation, through a series of diverse works—from her 1940s and 1950s paintings, which bear the imprint of war, to her very latest pieces. After relocating to the United States in 1957, Kusama gained a reputation for her net paintings and sculptures that embody ‘self-obliteration’: the feeling of losing the boundary between the self and the other through the obsessive repetition of motifs originating from her hallucinations. In her anti-war happenings in the late 1960s, she painted dots onto the human body using the same concept of ‘self-obliteration’ while also highlighting the beauty of life and the human body. During the 1970s and 80s, following the loss of her father and her lover, as well as her return to Japan due to health issues, Kusama produced numerous dark-toned collages and three-dimensional works centered on the theme of death, as well as poetry and novels imbued with a sense of mortality. As she continued creating fantastical works exploring death and the afterlife, her works from the late 1980s began to explore themes of transmigration and cyclical returns to eternity through ‘self-obliteration’. Kusama’s works, which increasingly incorporated more colors, reveal how her creative process evolved from a means of coping with death to becoming synonymous with her very existence. In her painting series from 2000 onwards, Kusama has been relentlessly depicting the beauty of life and the joy of living on canvases overflowing with vibrant colors, driven by the ever-looming presence of her own death.

This will be the first major retrospective in Asia of Hilma af Klint (1862–1944), a pioneer of abstract painting.

Her 2018 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the U.S., attracted 600,000 visitors, the largest attendance in the museum’s history. Including The Ten Largest (1907), a set of ten paintings over three meters high, all 140 works in this exhibition will travel to Japan for the first time.

Sagano, located in the northwest of Kyoto, is a beautiful place that has been a favorite place for entertainment for the royal family since ancient times. In the early Heian period, Emperor Saga (786-842) built a detached palace, Saga-in, here. Later, he followed the advice of the monk Kukai (774-835) and placed the Five Great Myogo statues in the Jibutsu-do. In 876, Princess Masako, the daughter of Emperor Saga, transformed this place into a temple, and the history of Daikaku-ji Temple began. 2026 marks the 1,150th anniversary of the founding of Daikaku-ji Temple. In celebration of this important historical moment, this special exhibition brings together many treasures from Daikaku-ji Temple for display. The Shinden, located in the center of the temple, is said to have been given to Emperor Go-Mizunoo in 1620 when Tofukumon In Kazuko married him as a concubine. The shoji paintings and other screen paintings inside the Shinden are masterpieces of Kano Sanraku (1559-1635), a representative painter from the Azuchi-Momoyama to the Edo period, and are designated as important cultural properties. This special exhibition not only displays more than 100 screen paintings, but also calligraphy works by successive emperors that reflect the history of faith, and famous works of esoteric Buddhist art such as the "Godai Myogo-sama" (Myouen-sculpture), which is regarded as the best Buddhist statue in the late Heian period. Please enjoy.
