Eizo and Toichi Kato are Gifu's famous artist brothers who had a great success and left many masterpieces mainly at the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition. This year is the 110th anniversary of the birth of Eizo Kato and the 110th anniversary of the birth of Toichi Kato. It's the 25th anniversary of the museum as well, so this exhibition is held to commemorate these three anniversaries.

In such an anniversary exhibition, it's quite common to exhibit their large masterpieces to honor their great achievements. However, this special exhibition is to exhibit more than 60 their never-before-exhibited works as well as rough sketches so that you can re-discover the attractiveness of Kizao and Toichi Kato.

Osato Research Institute is in Gifu prefecture and we love natures in Gifu. Because of this, we have several works of Gifu artists in possession including Eizo and Toichi Kato. We cooperate with the museum by lending them during the exhibition.

Please take this opportunity to enjoy the works of two leading Japanese painters featuring beautiful nature.
