Tour of the gallery in Ginza

[Koedo Itabashi] 09:00 on December 5, 2013

On the afternoon of a weekday, I invited my wife to Ginza due to mild weather.

While walking along the street from Ginza 5-chome to 6-chome, we had a late lunch, looked into the window, and enjoyed the warmth of Koharu weather.

And we did today's big purpose, "dropping in the gallery".

 

The reason I tried to go to the gallery was the Ginza Gallery Course, a new discovery in Chuo-ku, "Town Walking Tour" held on Thursday, November 21.

As a correspondent of the tourist association, I was in charge of the guide for this course.

The galleries I visited were "Ginza Yanagi Gallery", "Nichido Gallery", and "Shiminedo Gallery".

After entering the store, we heard from each gallery.

It was a story that I couldn't usually hear, such as how to enjoy the tour of the gallery, interesting stories about paintings, and thoughts on painters' works.

 

I had never had the opportunity to open the door of the gallery, and until that day it was quite a high threshold.

In addition, when we gathered information on our website, we found that it is a unique store in Ginza, which is engaged in various social activities.

I entered the exhibition room with some tension.

At each gallery, works were exhibited according to their own theme, and attention was paid to the production of the space, the light and darkness of light, and the drifting scent.

 

"If you want to buy one of them, which one would you choose?"

Indeed, if you look at it from that point of view, you will notice be beckoning from the painting.

A work that seems to be compatible, a work that sticks strangely, and a work that increases the brightness.

Each expression has become vividly visible.

 

"If you preserve your work carefully, you will have more than 100 years. Buying, having fun, and passing it on to the next generation will also inherit the culture.'

In that way, there is a way to pass it on to the present and pass it on to the future.

I can't imagine painting in the light of the house.

 

"If you know the author, you will see the work more fun."

It is said that those who are said to be geniuses make a bloody effort, and still a handful of them remain in the world.

If you get a glimpse of the human smell of such writers, you will be even more familiar.

 

It seems that there were more than 100 applicants for the Ginza Gallery course.

10 people participated in the lottery.

I went around 3 stores in the Ginza 5-chome area for about 2 hours.

Because it was a relaxed journey, the participants listened to the gallery while watching carefully.

Even though it was selected by lottery, there were only such enthusiastic participants.

I thought there was certainly a potential spread of interest in galleries, art, and art.

 

"Please invite your friends and feel free to come."

On the invitation, I brought my wife at once.

When he showed the story he had heard, good at, but suppressed his voice,

"Wow, nice!" The look of my wife's respect is sparkling.
