The 20th anniversary of the opening of the Edo Tokyo Museum, special exhibition Nihonbashi - 400 years of painted landmarks are being held. Many of you may have seen that the curator in charge was published in a series in the Asahi Shimbun, where the commentary on the "foots" was sponsored. I thought it was "in the meantime", but the session was finally until July 16, and finally came to both countries.
It is the first time to release pictures and photographs that record Nihonbashi and its surroundings on this scale with 130 materials centered on paintings depicting Nihonbashi as described as "drawn".
Chapter 1: "The Bridge of the City of Edo": Works depicted as the starting point of Nakano Bridge and highways in the city
Chapter 2: "Drawing Nihonbashi-Edo Castle, Mount Fuji, Fish Banks" Standard Decision for Painting in Nihonbashi
Chapter 3 “Civilization and enlightenment and Nihonbashi” Nihonbashi is constantly changing in response to the Meiji Restoration
Chapter 4 "Nihonbashi made of stone": A 100-year-old appearance since the current stone bridge was built
With the above composition, there are also surprise exhibitions such as "Dismantling Shinsho" (because the publisher is Suharaya in Nihonbashi), and rickshaws (starting business at the high billboard in Nihonbashi). What a commentary guide is Mr. Makoto Takeuchi, director.
While watching Hiroshige's "Surugacho Echigoya", "This is a publicity run" and "What did Shirakiya sell at first?" "Is the bridge behind this river Ichiishi Bridge or Tokiwa Bridge?" (Conversation that I don't think I've received a very sightseeing certification!) I enjoyed the exhibition while being excited with a selfish story. If you come with a friend who likes Edo, you will be assured that your enjoyment will double.
We recommend that you think about the 400 years of Nihonbashi while watching the exhibition. In addition, at the "Festival-Yuraku, Festival, Famous Places-Exhibition held at the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, "Edo Famous Places Screen" is displayed as a contrast to the "Gion Festival Folding Screen", and you can see the bustle of Nihonbashi at the beginning of the Kanei era. This is until July 22nd.
