"Paintings" Nobuhisa Kaneko, curator of the "Cute Edo Paintings" Exhibition (Fuchu City Art Museum) in 2013, which triggered the recent art exhibition and art book boom with the theme of "kawaii", selected the 7 best painters who intentionally pursued and expressed cuteness in the history of Edo painting. (1) Draw cutely with simplification and deformation (2) Poor portrayal creates "kawaii" (cute) (3) Reproduce cute subjects realistically (4) Relax your mind with looseness (5) Express it in "crazy" shape. In addition, by connecting these 7 people with a line, the history of "kawaii" in the Edo era can be said to be the origin of modern "KAWAII" culture. It is a must-see book for Japanese fine arts fans as well as those who love cute things. The 2nd edition newly includes "Mohumofu Inu-e" by Maruyama Okyo Rosetsu Nagasawa who is popular at exhibitions all over Japan!
