Visit to Tokyo Art Antique Kyobashi and Nihonbashi Gallery

[Silver] May 3, 2012 08:30

Tokyo Art Antique was held from April 27th to April 29th. On the 29th (Sun), we started Kyobashi at 10:30 in the morning and enjoyed visiting the gallery to Nihonbashi. Well, let's have a good report.

I will enter between the police museum and LIXXIL. Suinami Gallery, 3-6-12 Kyobashi. You are dealing with works by Picasso, soft atmosphere Chagall, and Utriro. I liked the work of James Rizzi, born in Brooklyn,NY. Postcards are also available for souvenirs.

Orient Archeological Art Taiyo-san. Mainly in West Asia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, Gandara, and other items reminiscent of cultural exchange that traveled to and from Silk Road were exhibited. I was also interested in artifact and Greek silver coins from Afghan.

 The president of Hayashida Gallery talks about when he came to the Christmas Art Festa, and exhibits works on display at the store and exhibitions on the theme of animals across genres, entitled "KYOBASHI art safari". I was taught that In addition, Sokyu Urakami told me that he was a collector of Hokusai Manga.

  I enjoyed a lot of paintings and works of art, but there are some people who shouldn't forget them on antique streets.

Hiroshige Utagawa, known for his works such as the 53rd Tokaido and the Hundred Views of Edo, lived there.

I usually enjoyed shopping at department stores and wasn't interested in the shops around me, but for the first time I learned that there was a fine gallery. This is Mr. Tsubo Nakai. It's opposite Mr. Takashimaya, across Sakura-dori St. He seemed to be good at antique art, and fine pots and paintings were on display, but on the price tags of many works, there was a red circlezero indicating that it was already sold.

In Nihonbashi, we visited the Ebiya Art Store, Shuzando Gallery, and Sankei-dong, famous for its large signboards of Ezo Ichikawa (sharaku), and saw their proud exhibits.

After seeing, he said, "Thank you," and at every store, he answered carefully "Thank you." It was a Tokyo art antique where you could relax and feel blissful.

Reference: The event was attended by 62 galleries, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, and Maruzen Nihonbashi 3F galleries. We made a visit that matched the characteristics of each store listed on the ART MAP and their preferences. If you do not calculate how long it will take, it will take 65 stores X10 minutes = 650 minutes = 11 hours, travel time 1 hour, meal time 1 hour, etc. 13 hours. If possible, divide it into 2 days and enjoy it slowly. For your next reference. Also, eating at a famous restaurant on the way is one of the pleasures. Make a plan for where and what to eat. It will be a more enjoyable day.
