Rokuro Taniuchi was in charge of the cover illustrations for the weekly magazine "Shukan Shincho" for 26 years, starting in 1956. The total number of original drawings is approximately 1,300. Among them are not only nostalgic scenes that evoke a sense of the past, but also original drawings that deal with dark emotions such as anxiety and fear, as well as original drawings that depict witty scenes characteristic of Taniuchi. The Rokuro Taniuchi Museum holds exhibitions centered on these original cover drawings.
The Rokuro Taniuchi Museum has a long, narrow exhibition room and a rectangular exhibition room that is separated by a courtyard. Using this space, we will hold an exhibition centered on the cover illustrations of Shukan Shincho magazine, which are held in the collection of the Yokosuka Museum of Art. With more than 1,300 works depicting various scenes, even those familiar with Shukan Shincho will likely discover something new each time they visit the Rokuro Taniuchi Museum. Related works and materials will also be on display, introducing you to the nostalgic and evocative world of Rokuro Taniuchi.
