HOPP FERENC MÚZEUM - MUSÉE FERENC HOPP - Major, Gyula: Memorial Exhibition of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts: The Art of Asia

Fig. 5. Kozukahand les Until the present opportunity only a small portion was exhibited at all. At this time we presented not more than 20 pictures, mostly from Vay's acquisitions. Thus several paintings represented the Kano-school (KanoSeisen, Kano Kósen, Kano Tsunenobu), some the Tosa-school (Tosa Mitsunobu, Tosa Mitsumochi), 3—4 unsigned masterpieces of the Kano-school (Carp in waves, Kwannon sitting on a rock) the art of the sixteenth century. The various schools were represented by the pictures of Miyagawa, Chóshun, Góshun, Tani Bunchô etc. The series of pictures by Akamatsu Toshiko and her husband Maruki Iri, commemorating in eight large scrolls the sufferings and death of the victims of the atomic bombs thrown on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, has added several original sketches to this pictorial composition called "Victims of fire and water." THE ART OF COREA Corean art was but scarcely represented in Ferenc Hopp's collection. During his visit to Corea, Z. Felvinczi Takáts purchased some typical pottery there. However our Corean collection remained unsignificant up to World War II. compared with our Japanese or Chinese material. The Corean collection came to being after World War II. first of all through the repeated gifts of the Corean People's Democracy (see on the last one the article in the present publication), but also by the purchase of a number of objects and pictures. Thus old and modern Corean art became an integral part of our Museum.
