Scenery of Tanaka Isson's Demise House

What is Tanaka Isson's last house?

The house of Tanaka Isson, a genius painter, has been relocated and preserved in Nase Ariya-cho, Amami City.

Tanaka Isson's flower-and-bird paintings are reminiscent of Gauguin's, but he died a lonely man who never made his mark on the world during his lifetime.

Tanaka Isson's house is so crude that it is hard to believe that people lived in it. It is merely a wooden plank attached to the house, and without explanation, it appears to be nothing more than a storeroom.

The house shows that the money earned from working as a dyer of Oshima silk was used to purchase tools for painting, even if it had to be cut short in order to make a living. By the houseMonument describing the life of Tanaka IssonThere are

Tanaka Isson was born in Tochigi and lived in Chiba City for 20 years before moving to Amami Oshima. He continued to paint Japanese-style paintings of subtropical plants and birds, but never had the opportunity to publish his work during his lifetime.

In the 1980s, Tanaka Isson was introduced in a TV art program and became well known throughout Japan. The Tanaka Isson Museum of Art, which houses many of Isson Tanaka's paintings, is located in the Amami Park near the airport.
