The Feinberg Collection from the state of Maryland in the U.S. is a collection of Japanese art, centered on Edo-period painting, amassed by Betsy and Robert Feinberg. This distinctive collection features the free-spirited, energetic paintings by popular painters of the Edo period (1615–1868), rather than the conservative works of the official Kano and Tosa schools. The collection also covers a diverse range of superb works by the Rinpa artists Ogata Kōrin (1658–1716) and Sakai Hōitsu (1761–1829), the literati painters Ike no Taiga (1723–1776), Yosa Buson (1716–1784), and Tani Bunchō (1763–1840), the Shijō Maruyama painters Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795) and Mori Sosen (1747–1821), the eccentric artists Itō Jakuchū (1716–1800) and Soga Shōhaku (1730–1781), and the ukiyo-e painters Hishigawa Moronobu (1618–1694) and Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). This exhibition is the first to comprehensively introduce this outstanding collection. We hope museum visitors will enjoy the efflorescence of Edo paintings through approximately ninety phenomenal works from this collection!
