As part of recovery assistance measures related to the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster, Van Gogh’s painting “Sunflowers” from the Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art collection will be displayed to the public in a special exhibition.

The painting is a masterpiece from Vincent van Gogh’s time in Arles, his most productive period. Since preservation of the piece is extremely difficult, it is on principle not lent outside the museum. It is hoped that the exhibition of “Sunflowers” (Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art collection), painted by Van Gogh who headed to the southern French city of Arles in search of light, will also bring light and courage to those in the still recovering disaster-affected areas.

This first public exhibition of the painting in the Tohoku region has been made possible as part of joint assistance measures by Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. and Nipponkoa Insurance Co., Ltd. with the additional cooperation of Kamei Corporation.
