On January 30th, the "Chinese Modern Painting Master - Qi Baishi" held at the Kyoto National Museum was officially opened, marking the largest exhibition of Qi Baishi's works in Kyoto after 32 years. The exhibition brings together the collections of the Beijing Fine Art Academy and the Kyoto National Museum--- Qi Baishi's paintings and calligraphy, engravings, manuscripts, diaries and paintings tools from Beijing Fine Art Academy, and more than ten paintings collected by the Japanese institute.

　　 In 1922, Qi Baishi's works were sent to Japan to participate in the "China-Japan Joint Painting Exhibition", earning his reputation since then. After nearly a century, a large-scale exhibition of Qi Baishi art was held again on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the "China-Japan Peace and Friendship Treaty", hoping to take this opportunity to further promote the mutual understanding of each other's cultures. This exhibition is also part of the tour of the "2018 National Art Museum Collection Exhibition Season of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism".
