- Takehisa Yumeji Senoo Gakufu No.180
- "From the Opera Madame Butterfly:
- One Beautiful Day"
- Issued on July 18, 1920

The most notable feature of this collection is that one third of the entire collection consists of works by Takehisa Yumeji. There are original paintings by Yumeji, which are being shown in public for the first time, and numerous practical works of art for daily use, about which it would be no exaggeration to say that they show the true worth of "Yumeji's designs." Kawanishi said, "What I was impressed by most of all in my youth were Yumeji's paintings." Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to say that the Kawanishi Hide Collection grew "together with Yumeji." At the same time, we should not overlook the point that this collection was built through the exchanges between the two artists Kawanishi Hide and Takehisa Yumeji.

Lastly, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Takehisa Yumeji Ikaho Kinenkan, The Miyagi Museum of Art, and all the private collectors for understanding the purport of this exhibition and so kindly agreeing to lend us representative examples of Yumeji's oeuvres. We are also most grateful to Kawanishi Hide's seventh son Mr. Kawanishi Yuzaburo for having given us the opportunity to add this collection to our museum collection.
