“Nihonbashi” 400 years as seen in the exhibition

1. July 4, 2012 13:00

The 20th anniversary of the opening of the Edo Tokyo Museum is being held in special exhibition's Nihonbashi 400 years of landmarks. Many people may have seen the curator in charge's commentary on the “Sights” was published in a series in the Asahi Shimbun, which is sponsored. I also thought, "in the meantime," but the session was finally until July 16, and finally to both countries.

It is the first time that paintings and photographs that record Nihonbashi and its surroundings have been released on this scale in an exhibition with 130 materials centered on paintings depicting Nihonbashi as described in "drawn" .

Chapter 1 "City of Edo Bridge" - Works drawn as the starting point of Nakano Bridge and the highway in the city

Chapter 2 “Drawing Nihonbashi-Edo Castle, Mount Fuji, Fish Bank-” Standard Decision on Nihonbashi Painting

Chapter 3 “Civilization and enlightenment and Nihonbashi” Nihonbashi is changing every moment with the Meiji Restoration

Chapter 4 “Nihonbashi made of stone” - 100 years since the current stone bridge was built

Based on the above composition, there are also surprise exhibitions such as "Dismantling Shinsho" (because the version was Suharaya in Nihonbashi) and rickshaws (starting business at the high billboard in Nihonbashi). The commentary guide is Mr. Makoto Takeuchi, the director.

While watching Hiroshige's "Surugacho Echigo-ya", "This is a whole promotion run" "What was Shirakiya doing at first?" "Is the bridge behind this river Ichiishi Bridge or Tokiwa Bridge?" (Conversation that I don't think I have received a very sightseeing test!) I enjoyed the exhibition while being excited by a selfish story. If you come with a friend who loves Edo, you will be sure to double the pleasure.

It would be great to think about the 400 years of Nihonbashi while watching the exhibition. In addition, at the “Festival-Amusement / Festival / Famous Places-Exhibition held at the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, the “Edo Famous Places Screen” is displayed as a contrast to the “Gion Festival Screen”, and you can see the bustle of Nihonbashi at the beginning of the Kanei era. I can do it. This is until July twenty-second.
