The Mitsubishi 150th Anniversary Exhibition
The Treasures of Mitsubishi Collection
National Treasure《Tea bowl, Yohen Tenmoku, Jian ware known as “Inaba Tenmoku”》Southern Song dynasty (12-13th century), The Seikado Foundation
National Treasure Tea bowl, Yohen Tenmoku There are only three tea bowls of this kind that are known to exist. It is a miracle tea bowl.
Four generations of presidents of Mitsubishi, IWASAKI Yataro (1835-1885), who founded the company, Yanosuke (1851–1908), Hisaya (1865–1955), and Koyata (1879–1945), took a strong interest in cultural properties. Today, their collections are housed at The Seikado Foundation and Toyo Bunko in Tokyo. Keeping company with scholars and artists among their contemporaries, the four men brought a broad perspective to their collecting activities, which they felt should contribute to society. Starting with Yataro, the first president of Mitsubishi, and ending with Koyata, the fourth president, this exhibition traces the history of their social contributions through their support for the research and development of the arts and culture. There are more than one hundred valuable objects on display at the exhibition, which features numerous rare books and fine arts and crafts from the collections at The Seikado Foundation and Toyo Bunko—including twelve National Treasures and thirty-one Important Cultural Properties—as well as items from the collection at The Mitsubishi Economic Research Institute. The exhibition is also an invaluable opportunity to see the collections from The Seikado Foundation and Toyo Bunko brought together under one roof.
| 3 Highlights | |
| 1 | Twelve National Treasures including the tea bowl, Yohen Tenmoku and the Maoshi edition of ancient Chinese poetry will be on display. |
| 2 | An exceptional collection underpinned by the awareness of social contribution among members of the entrepreneurial IWASAKI family. |
| 3 | IWASAKI Yanosuke envisioned the Mitsubishi Ichigokan. His heir Koyata expanded The Seikado Foundation, while IWASAKI Hisaya established Toyo Bunko, the largest Asian studies library in Asia. The masterpieces brought together from both institutions illustrate the passage of time. |

60's male2021-08-20 08:22:35素晴らしい展示会でした。国宝の曜変天目には吸い込まれるように見させてもらいました。本物見て感激です。源氏物語の屏風や刀剣、東方見聞録も本物見て感激しました。三菱ファミリーの文化財保存の強い意向と高い志にも感激しました。広報が行き届いていなのか知らない人が多いかと思いますので会期延長してもいいかと思いました。
