Rokuro Taniuchi was in charge of the cover art for Weekly Shincho for 26 years starting in 1956. The total number of original drawings will be approximately 1,300. These include not only nostalgic and nostalgic scenes, but also original drawings with themes of dark emotions such as anxiety and fear, as well as original drawings depicting scenes with Taniuchi's typical wit. At Rokuro Taniuchi Museum, we are holding an exhibition centered on such original cover art.
The Taniuchi Rokuro Museum has a long and narrow exhibition room and a square exhibition room separated by a courtyard. Using that space, we will hold an exhibition centered on the <Weekly Shincho cover art> stored at the Yokosuka Museum of Art. There are over 1,300 works depicting various scenes, so even those who are used to reading Weekly Shincho will find new discoveries every time they visit Rokuro Taniuchi Museum. Related works and materials will also be on display, introducing the nostalgic world of Rokuro Taniuchi.
