The Art Research Center (ARC), Ritsumeikan University, is pleased to announce the completion of the crowdfunding project launched in 2019 to restore the Shuten-doji picture scrolls.

The execution of the project has been delayed since the spring of 2020 due to various unforeseen circumstances caused by COVID-19, and we would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the delay.

As the prospect of holding an exhibition to showcase the restored picture scrolls has become uncertain, we regret that we cannot provide an opportunity to see the restored picture scrolls at this point, despite your support for this crowdfunding project.

We will continue our efforts to preserve and disseminate information on the Shuten-doji picture scrolls and express our deepest gratitude to all the supporters of this crowdfunding project.
