A new exhibition dedicated to Hasegawa Kiyoshi is being presented at the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art in Tokyo, with the show drawing on the collection of the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts. Titled 'Hasegawa Kiyoshi: The Life of a Copperplate Engraver in Paris', the exhibition focuses on Hasegawa’s work as a copperplate engraver and on his years in Paris.
The Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts is supervising the joint exhibition, which places one of its own collections at the center of the display. The museum, based in Tokyo, is known for its focus on graphic arts, making the presentation an extension of its collecting and curatorial strengths rather than a standalone loan of individual works.
According to the source material, the exhibition centers on Hasegawa’s practice in Paris and identifies him specifically as a copperplate engraver. That framing suggests a close look at technique and professional life as well as at the works themselves, with the collection used to trace that part of his career.
The exhibition title also signals a biographical emphasis, but the verified material provided does not include additional dates, curatorial themes, or a checklist of works. It does establish, however, that the project is a joint undertaking between the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art and the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts, with the latter supervising the presentation.
No further details about programming, opening dates, or related events were included in the source text. What is clear is that 'Hasegawa Kiyoshi: The Life of a Copperplate Engraver in Paris' is currently being shown at the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art and is built around the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts collection.
