Detail: At the museum inaugural exhibition in 1966, the gallery rooms showcased major works of Chinese ceramics and bronze, ko-garatsu (old ware from the Karatsu region), and Zen master Sengai’s paintings. Today, fifty-eight years since its public opening, all the rooms remain with their original structure and style. To begin the museum’s final year in its current Teigeki building, this first exhibition revisits the museum inaugural exhibition and features masterpieces that continue to represent the collection of the Idemitsu Museum of Arts.
