In Kyoto, "Coloring the Rimpakyo" exhibition is being held.
The other day, the number of visitors reached 100,000, and it was a great success.
Until November 8, Sotatsu Tawaraya, Kourin Ogata, and Hoitsu Sakai
It is said that you can see 3 works of Fengjin Raijin figure folding screens at the same time.
I'm sure it's amazing.
By the way, let's think about Hoitsu Sakai, the founder of Edo Rinpa, which is related to Chuo-ku.
Huichi was born as the second son of Himeji feudal lord in 1761 in the late Edo period. The sorrow of the second son of the samurai became familiar with haikai and painting from a young age.
Paintings were unraveled by the Kano Nakabashi family and expanded their world.
The Kano Nakabashi family was one of Yotsuya Kano, who was a master painter of Edo shogunate.
If it was next to the Hiroshige Utagawa residence, it is described in the explanation version of "Hiroshige Utagawa residence site" at Kyobashi 1-chome.
I went home at the age of 37. In addition, he established his own style of painting with Kourin Ogata.
Rimpa, a splendid decorative painting method of Kyoto, has been completed as a stylish and elegant Edo Rinpa unique to Edo. He died at the age of 68, but his grave is located at Tsukiji Honganji Temple and is a historic site on the grounds.
By the way, if you say that the exhibition in Kyoto is difficult in time, we recommend the "Kyoto Museum" in Yaesu.
We also sell Rimpa goods. Why don't you stop by once?
This is exactly the "real Kyoto" you can meet in Yaesu.
