Yosa Buson (1716 - 1784) was a Japanese poet and painter who was prolific during the Edo Period. He was particularly renowned for his artwork depicting natural scenes, but there were also plenty of pieces throughout his life where a playfulness - and even an awkwardness - was present.
A special exhibition taking place at the Fuchu Art Museum will explore around 100 works from throughout Yosa Buson's career, with a particular focus on pieces which evoke that sense of lightheartedness and fun.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 700 yen.
