In the past, at Kyobashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, there was a residence of the popular ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige Utagawa. From Hiroshige Utagawa's masterpiece "Hundred Famous Views of Edo", you can learn about Edo's famous places and the state of the city, and the lives of the people at that time. Ukiyo-e is not only a work of art, but also a material that tells the times.
The "Suber Ukiyo-e Edo Secret Exhibition" (January 28-May 21, 2017 Nihonbashikayabacho), which I visited the other day, was unusual. Ukiyo-e, digitally processed and moving like animation, was enjoyed with Ainosuke Kataoka's narration and sound effects.

"I'm so excited!" With the narration, this exhibition will begin. What is Ukiyo-e's emo? The question arises, but emoi is an expression that adjectives emotion (emotion). How do you enjoy ukiyo-e! Do you feel like it? ・It's a pleasure to visit.
In addition, photography was OK in the hall, and posting on SNS was recommended.
The popular ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period are not Hiroshige Utagawa and Katsushika Hokusai. It will also give you a chance to know what kind of works Ukiyoshi such as Kunisada Utagawa and Toyokuni Utagawa were drawing.
