Taniuchi Rokuro was responsible for the cover art of "Weekly Shincho" for 26 years from 1956 (Showa 31). The total number of original drawings is about 1,300 pieces. Among them are not only nostalgic scenes from the past, but also original drawings that depict dark emotions such as anxiety and fear, as well as witty scenes that are typical of Taniuchi. At the Taniuchi Rokuro Museum, we are mainly exhibiting these original cover art.
The Taniuchi Rokuro Museum has a long and narrow exhibition room and a square exhibition room with a courtyard between them. Using this space, an exhibition will be held, focusing on the cover art of Shukan Shincho, which is housed at the Yokosuka Museum of Art. There are over 1,300 works depicting various scenes, so even those who are used to reading Shukan Shincho will surely find something new every time they visit the Taniuchi Rokuro Museum. Related works and materials will also be on display, introducing the nostalgic world of Taniuchi Rokuro.
