On the first floor of the Ibasen Building in Nihonbashikobunacho, there is the Ibasen Machikado Exhibition Hall, which is run by the long-established fan shop Ibasen.
Currently, a book exhibition "Torika Hanamai" by Kaishin Makuta is being held.
Makuta's works are stored in many places, such as the New York Consulate General, a Chinese museum, and Kazusa Academia Hall in Kisarazu City.
Also, on June 6, it was decided that Makuta would be awarded the French Order of Ankrajuman Pubrick (Medal 3rd, etc.)
Ibasen was founded in 1590 (Tensho 18) and is a long-established store that manufactures and sells fan fans, fans, and Japanese paper products.
At the time of its founding, he accepted the use of Edo shogunate in Horie-cho, Edo Nihonbashi (now Nihonbashikobunacho) and mainly handled Japanese paper and bamboo products. It seems that he spread the name "Ibaya" throughout Edo City as a version of Toyokuni, Kuniyoshi, Hiroshige and others.
At present, the paintings of "Iba Senban" at that time can be seen not only at domestic museums, but also at prominent museums overseas such as the British Museum, the Boston Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Van Gogh Museum.
