I went to Hiroshi Azuma on a snowy day afternoon, when the exhibition period was approaching, despite the news that it was 30 minutes waiting to enter and 210 minutes in front of "Kiyomei Kamikawazu".
When I saw "0 minutes waiting for admission", I was laughing at the reading, but still waited 180 minutes before "Kiyomei Kamikawazu".
Lane next to the line of "Kiyomei Kamikawa Figure"? Let's look at it and feel only the atmosphere. Even so, this way of mixing is abnormal. "How much did Hiroshi Azuma pay for the rental fee?"
As you can see, the "Kiyomei Kamikawa Figure" is a picture scroll depicting the prosperity of the capital of the opening of the 12C (population: 1.5 million) by Emperor Hui Mune of Kita Soong. 777 people are drawn on a 24cm and 5m picture scroll, and people are about 5mm. I wonder if there was a continuation because it was a sudden end. I think it's said.
Speaking of which, I remembered "Kyodai Shoran". As you may know, this is a reproduction of the underground concourse wall of Mitsukoshimae Subway Station for about 17 meters.
This is a bird's-eye view of Nihonbashi and Imagawa Bridge from the east at the time of the 2nd year of culture (1805), and a clear picture of the townspeople's culture. The original picture is 43.7cm long, 1232.2cm long, and the subway concourse is made 1.4 times more than this. It was produced in 2009 by the Meibashi Nihonbashi Preservation Society and the Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-year Planning Committee.
The original painting is held at the National Museum of Asian Art, Berlin. In 1995, a collector from Berlin deposited it at the museum, and in 1999, a curator confirmed it as a Japanese work. The history of passing to the collector is unknown. According to the materials, it is known that the title is calligrapher Toshu Sano, but it is common to say that the painter is currently unknown and Kyoden Santo, who was also active as a painter under the name of Masanobu Kitao.
"Kyodai Shoran" is thought to be "produced for the purpose of preserving the prosperity of Edo at that time in future generations" in the sense of the scenery that will be the winner of the Kiyo (Kagaya). .
Then, a part of the picture scroll.
There are 1671 people in the picture (Who counted?)
Of these, 200 women, 20 wild dogs, 13 horses, 4 cows, 1 monkey, and 2 hawks. Shoppers, chore selling, Tsujizo, Yomiuri, Buddhist monk, etc. are drawn vividly.
According to the explanation, sushi is sold in the middle of this picture that has a stack of painted steaming baskets.
It's a detailed description so you won't get tired of looking at it.
Unlike the museum, there is no congestion, so you can see it slowly. In addition, there is no admission fee. Why don't you go back in time to the town of Edo, where Edo culture was the most mature, and play for a while?
Location: In the underground concourse of Mitsukoshimae Station
