Overview

The “Van Gogh Exhibition: The Artist’s Dream Connected by Family” is the first major exhibition in Japan to focus on the pivotal role the Van Gogh family played in establishing Vincent’s legacy. It explores how his younger brother, Theo van Gogh, and Theo’s wife, Jo van Gogh-Bonger, passionately preserved and promoted his work after his death, turning the artist’s dream of being seen into a global reality.

The exhibition features over 30 oil paintings and drawings primarily drawn from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation). These works, along with rare archival materials and four letters never before seen in Japan, trace the intense 10-year period of the artist’s career.

The tour spans multiple major Japanese cities, beginning in Osaka, moving to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, and concluding in Nagoya. The Tokyo leg requires careful planning, as date and time reservations are frequently mandatory.

• Language Barriers: Japanese-only ticketing systems; Jasumo offers bilingual support.
• Local Platforms: Assistance with lottery registration, payments, and e-ticket delivery.
• High Demand: ~300–1,500 seats per venue and troupe’s cult following create sellout risks; we manage deadlines for prime chances.
