Gifts From Japan

Hou-mei Sung, Curator of East Asian Art at the Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM), discussed a group of Japanese paintings gifted to CAM in 2025 by Dr. Toshihide Hirose, an orthodontist in Japan. In addition to his dental practice, Dr. Hirose is also an avid collector of Japanese paintings of the late Meiji (1868-1912) and early Showa (1926-1989) eras. This group of paintings, representing nine artists, covers a wide range of subjects and styles. All these paintings have never been published or publicly displayed before entering the museum collection.
