Special Feature: SHOJI Fuku

Fuku Shoji (1910-2002) began her career as a painter in 1941 after studying Japanese painting at the Private Women’s School of Fine Arts (present: Joshibi University of Art and Design) and moving to Sendai to get married. After first winning an award at the Japan Art Institute (Nihon Bijutsuin) Exhibition in 1946, the exhibition became the main stage for her artistic endeavors.

The Tohoku region was both her place of origin as a painter as well as the place that led her to philosophical speculation that would become a consistent underlying theme for her work despite its changing nature.

The exhibition features approximately 20 pieces, including early work focusing on human figures, work examining the theme of time and inspired by historic sites in other countries and damaged Buddhist statues throughout Tohoku, the thought-provoking “Stone” series, as well as her later work, based on scenery from various places to which she had traveled and in which she saw herself reflected.
