The MOA Museum of Art in Atami, Japan, will present ‘Hiroshi Yoshida: 150th Anniversary Exhibition’ from September 4 through October 20, 2026. The large-scale exhibition will mark the 150th anniversary of the artist’s birth and bring together works in watercolor, oil painting and woodblock printing.
According to the museum’s announcement, the presentation will include Yoshida’s representative work ‘帆船’ alongside a large watercolor, ‘街道と馬’, described as being shown in Japan for the first time. The exhibition is framed as a comprehensive display across the principal media identified in the announcement, rather than a presentation focused on a single technique.
The inclusion of ‘街道と馬’ is a central feature of the programme. The museum identifies the work as a major watercolor and specifically highlights its status as a first presentation in Japan. The announcement also singles out ‘帆船’ as one of Yoshida’s representative works, although it does not provide further details about the individual works or the number of objects to be displayed.
The exhibition will be held at the MOA Museum of Art in Atami. It is scheduled to open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with last admission at 4 p.m. The museum will be closed on Thursdays during the run, except for October 1, when it will remain open.
The announcement was issued by the museum on August 18, 2026, as a preview of its next exhibition. It presents the project as a celebration of Yoshida’s international appeal and as an opportunity to see paintings and prints together, including a watercolor not previously exhibited in Japan. The exhibition will close on October 20, 2026.
