From October 1st (Saturday), the "Ninja Painter Emi Takada solo exhibition" has been held at "Ginkei Salon & Gallery" in Ginza 1-chome.
The Ginza Keizai Shimbun's real space "Ginkei Salon & Gallery" is on the first floor from the entrance of the arrow (pictured above
) of the "Fukutaro Kusuri" building on the first floor.
Emi Takada of "Ninja Painter ()"
said "I want to be a ninja" was the catalyst for drawing ninjas. The theme of this exhibition is "Women Ninja".
The work on the left in the photo above shows "Walking Miko", the figure of a female ninja.
Mr. Takata's solo exhibition in Chuo-ku seems to be the second time, and the first one was held at the Okuno Building.
The overwhelming presence at the venue () is the nine female ninja statues painted almost life-size on a golden Western foil. The difference from a normal nude statue is the shape of a mask that covers the lower half of the face and a hand with a mark on each.
This work, "Rin / Soldiers / Fighting / People / Everyone / Team / Column / Former", seems to have been created as a homage to Western painter Seiki Kuroda's masterpiece "Chi, Sension / Jo". It is drawn in almost the same size (about 180 cm x 90 cm) as "Chi, Sensence / Jo".
When I saw it as a work depicting the naked body of a woman in the occupation of a ninja (),
it seemed that they could feel from their powerful body to a sense of life, and it was very interesting.
I felt that the fact that the back is golden is very suitable for expressing the ancient Japanese profession.
At the venue, you can also see an album of Takata's collection of works depicting children's ninjas () etc.
Mr. Takada seems to be able to continue drawing on the theme of ninjas.
In this solo exhibition, not only the Japanese version but also the English version of the pamphlet 
was prepared.
"Ginkei Salon & Gallery" is located on the 3rd floor of Mita Building, a corner 
of the Shinkyobashi intersection on Showa-dori, at the red spot on the map below.
The period is until October 13 (Thursday), and the opening hours are from 13:00 to 19:00.
Mr. Takata consent
