Autumn 2026.
By happy coincidence, shunga exhibitions are being held at the same time in Tokyo and Kyoto.
At the Fukuda Art Museum in Arashiyama, Kyoto, " Forms of Love — Legendary Shunga Scroll Chigo Sōshi on Display" presents the Chigo Sōshi, a handscroll from the early 14th century, to the public for the first time, along with many other hand-painted shunga.
Meanwhile, in Kabukicho, Tokyo, "Utagawa Kunisada & Utagawa Kuniyoshi — Shinjuku Kabukicho Shunga Exhibition WA" brings together all three works of Kunisada's "Three Genji" shunga trilogy. Kunisada, master of actor prints, and Kuniyoshi, master of warrior prints, were fellow pupils, senior and junior, who thrilled late-Edo audiences. Here, you can compare the two through their shunga.
From hand-painted scrolls of the Kamakura period to woodblock prints of the late Edo period.
Visit both venues, East and West, and you are sure to enjoy the history and appeal of shunga from many different angles.
We hope you will visit both exhibitions and fully immerse yourself in the world of shunga. To make that easier, we are offering a reciprocal discount: show your ticket from either exhibition (ticket stub, receipt, or e-ticket screen) at the reception of the other, and receive ¥300 off admission.
