The Iwate Prefectural Museum is currently presenting the 'Kobayashi Tokusaburo Exhibition,' which includes ten works on loan from the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo’s collection. According to MOT’s collection search page, the exhibition runs from June 20 to August 23, 2026, at the Iwate Prefectural Museum in Iwate, Japan.
MOT’s online collection entry lists the exhibition under its loaned works section and identifies the venue, dates, and artist as Kobayashi Tokusaburo. The museum notes that visitors can view the exhibited works through its collection search online, linking the public display in Iwate with the Tokyo institution’s digital collection record.
The loan includes works titled 'Karyugeki 1,' 'Karyugeki 2,' 'Karyugeki Kansyakuseki,' 'Karyugeki Shisaku,' 'Kansyakuseki,' 'Jinbutsu (Megane o Motsu Otoko),' 'Fūkei/Jumoku,' 'Fujinzo 1,' 'Fujinzo 2,' and 'Hashi no Tamoto.' Several of the works are dated to 1912 or 1913, while others are listed as undated or circa 1912 in the collection record.
The exhibition brings together a focused group of works by Kobayashi Tokusaburo from MOT’s holdings, offering a concentrated view of the artist’s early 20th-century output as represented in the museum’s collection. MOT’s collection search page identifies the artist in Japanese as 小林徳三郎 and places the loan within its broader public catalogue of works currently on display or on loan.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo’s collection search is designed to make works in its holdings searchable online, and its lending page provides a direct record of the objects currently out on exhibition. In this case, the page confirms the ten works on view in Iwate and gives viewers a route to trace the loan through the museum’s digital database.
The Iwate Prefectural Museum show remains on view through August 23, 2026.
