Description

Kawamura Kenpō (1914-2001) was a Japanese-style painter, active in the Shōwa period. He excelled at kachō-ga (flowers & birds paintings) as well as dōbutsu-ga (paintings of animals). He was born in Fukuoka Prefecture, growing up to study the art of painting at the Kyōto College of Painting (the current Kyoto City University of Arts). His post-graduation career was spectacular in that he won 3 times at the Bunten exhibition, 24 times at the Nitten exhibition, and 3 times at the All Kansai Students’ Bijutsu Renmei-ten exhibition, in addition to being selected even for numerous other exhibitions. He was also an active member of the Nitten exhibition. He was a highly acclaimed Japanese-style painter with his reputation recognized widespread by the world, whose works were even purchased by the Ueno Royal Museum.

Kawamura Kenpō’s unique painting style features on sketching as in the Maruyama-Shijō School, which was mainstream of the Kyōto art world, with his intentional addition of vivid colors and delicate brushstrokes. The creatures depicted in this style of Kenpō have attracted many fans. He left many paintings of colored carp, in particular, marking this work as one of them. This work can be said to be a masterpiece, in which Kawamura Kenpō beautifully depicted the beauty of colored carp, yielding global popularity as a “swimming jewel.” The elegance of these colored carps is emphasized with the use of gold paint in depicting the flow of water. This is where Kawamura Kenpō’s sense of style shines through.

Our Feelings For Kakejiku


 The Japanese people have long set a high value on aesthetic senses since ancient times. As a result, the
peculiar culture which is not seen in other countries blossomed and many aspects of the modern Japanese
culture come from it. Parts of Japanese culture has been introduced to people in other countries recently,
so the number of people from other countries who are interested in Japanese culture has been increasing.
However, the Japanese aesthetic senses, which are the bases of Japanese culture, have been nurtured
through a long history, intertwining various elements intricately, such as climate, geographical features,
religion, customs and so on. Therefore, they are very difficult to understand not only for people from other
countries, but even for the Japanese people. I think the best tool which conveys these difficult senses
understandably is a “kakejiku.”
 The kakejiku (a hanging scroll; a work of calligraphy or a painting which is mounted and hung in an
alcove or on a wall) is a traditional Japanese art. It's no exaggeration to say that paintings are what
express aesthetic senses at all times and places. The kakejiku is an art which expresses the Japanese
aesthetic senses. The kakejiku has long been used in traditional Japanese events, daily life and so on since
ancient times. As a result, there are various customs of kakejiku in Japan; kakejiku and the life of the
Japanese are closely related. We can see Japanese values through kakejiku.
 The kakejiku is a cultural tradition which the Japanese people should be proud of. However, many people
in other countries don't know much about it because it hasn't been showcased as much. This is why I
decided to try to introduce it. The kakejiku world is very interesting and beautiful. We want not only the
Japanese, but also many people from other countries to know and enjoy it. I hope that many people will
love kakejiku someday.
