The Museum Rietberg in Zürich (Switzerland) is the only art museum for non-European cultures in Switzerland. It has an internationally renowned collection of works from Asia, Africa, America and Oceania and presents special exhibitions on specific themes and artists. Currently, the Museum Rietberg presents the Japanese artist Nagasawa Rosetsu (1754–1799).

Nagasawa Rosetsu is renowned as one of the most eccentric and imaginative artists in early modern Japan. The exhibition at the Rietberg Museum is entitled “Rosetsu - Ferocious Brush. It's the first comprehensive presentation ever to take place outside of Japan and surveys Rosetsu’s art through a selection of sixty of his most important paintings. The highlight of the exhibition is a magnificent ensemble of 48 screens and hanging scrolls, displayed in a recreated original floorplan of the Zen temple Muryōji. This Zen temple in the southern part of Japan’s main island holds the largest and most important collection of Rosetsu’s paintings, created in 1786.

The exhibition is jointly curated by Dr Khanh Trinh, Curator of Japanese art, Museum Rietberg, Zurich, and Prof. Matthew McKelway, Takeo and Itsuko Atsumi Professor of Japanese art history; director of the Mary Griggs Burke Center for Japanese Art, Columbia University in the City of New York. Rosetsu - Ferocious Brush runs until 4 November 2018.
