In Taisho 7, the precociously gifted painter “松原石舟” won a prize at the Nitten at the age of nineteen; however, his life as a painter continued to wander in pursuit of “a painting that was his alone.” With support from the Morikawa and Hoshino families of 若松 (材木町), and after the war from the 本名 family of 郡山 (柏屋), he was able to leave behind many works until his death in Showa 51 at the age of seventy-seven. This time, moved by the strong wishes of his daughter (second daughter), 浅里久美子, and with the help of many collectors, we have brought together in one place works of diverse styles from Taisho 7 through the early Showa 50s (during the exhibition, works will be rotated between the first and second halves). We hope you will take this opportunity to enjoy the colorful, diverse, and at times even uncanny paintings of 松原石舟, which had been on the verge of fading with the flow of time. During the exhibition, on Saturday, July 11, from 1:30 p.m., there will be a gallery talk by his daughter (second daughter), 浅里久美子; we warmly invite you to attend.

Aizuwakamatsu City was among the first in the country to enact a landscape ordinance, but as time passes, the momentum to protect and nurture the scenery seems to be steadily fading. Amid this, in an effort to preserve nostalgic views on canvas, Mr. Ichinose continues to paint landscapes. This is a solo exhibition at the Fukunishi Honten Gallery, the first in four years since 2023. Many new works will be on display. During the exhibition, there will be two gallery talks by Mr. Ichinose: at 11:00 AM on Saturday, July 25, and at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, July 28. Please participate via the usual admission procedure.
