From October 1st (Sat), "Ninja Painter Emi Takata Solo Exhibition" has been held at "Ginkei Salon & Gallery" in Ginza 1-chome.
Ginza Keizai Shimbun's real space "Ginkei Salon & Gallery" can be entered through the entrance of the arrow (pictured above
) of the building of "Kusuri no Fukutaro" on the first floor.
Emi Takada of "Ninja Painter ()"
said that the desire to become a ninja was the trigger for drawing ninjas. The theme of this exhibition is "Women Ninja"
The picture above, the work on the left, is "Walking Miko," a female ninja dressed herself.
Mr. Takada's solo exhibition in Chuo-ku seems to be the second time, and the first time it was held at Okuno Building.
The overwhelming presence () at the venue is the nine women's ninja statues depicted almost life-size on a golden Western foil. The difference from the normal naked woman is the mask covering the lower half of her face and the shape of a hand marked with each other.
This work, "Rin, Soldiers, Fighting, People, Jin, Ring, Pre" is a work that was created as a homage to Western painter Seiki Kuroda's masterpiece "Chi, Sen, and Emotion". It is painted almost the same size (about 180 cm x 90 cm) as "Chi, Sen, Emotion".
When I saw it as a work depicting the naked body of a woman in the occupation of ninja ()
, it seemed that they could feel from their powerful bodies to a sense of life, so it was very interesting.
I felt that the gold color of the back was very suitable for expressing the ancient Japanese occupation.
At the venue, you can also see an album of Takata's works depicting children's ninja () etc.
Mr. Takata seems to be able to continue drawing on the theme of ninjas forever.
In this solo exhibition, not only the Japanese version, but also the English version pamphlet 
was prepared.
"Ginkei Salon & Gallery" is located on the 3rd floor of the Mita Building, which is part 
of the Shinkyobashi intersection on Showa-dori, on the red spot on the map below.
The period is until October 13 (Thursday), and the opening time is from 13:00 to 19:00.
Mr. Takada agreed 
about photography in the gallery. Thank you very much.
