The famous Japanese master Kaii Higashiyama has
generously donated more than 700 of his works (paintings,
studies, sketches, etc.) to the Shinano Art Museum. To house
and display these works, the Higashiyama Kaii Gallery was
built and opened in April of 1990.
The gallery holds paintings such as "Vibrant Greens",
"Forest with a White Horse", and "Evening Quiet", and also
series of sketches such as "Landscape in Europe", "Journey
into Tohoku and Shinshu", "Landscape in China", "Landscape
in Northern Europe":, "Four Seasons in Kyoto", "Landscape
with a White Horse" and "Spring and Autumn in Yamato". There
are also sketches and studies for the Nitten Exhibition and
for the Toshodai-ji Murals which show his inspiration and
the process of painting.
