Ahead of the Year of the Dog in 2018, at the end of 2017 of the Year of the Rooster, we have enjoyed many bird artworks.
There are many congratulatory crane paintings, especially the Hizuki Matsuzuru-zu folding screen of the Muromachi period, which is perfect for the large Shoin-style or sukiya-style mansion at that time.
In addition, 63 kinds of birds are precisely drawn in 17 meters, a volume of 46 birds of the Edo period, a volume of 46 birds. I don't think it's as if it's a modern picture book. It seems to have been painted by a Kyoto man named Shiko Watanabe of Rinpa who studied under Kourin Ogata over 24 years, including grayheaded cuckoo, Sparrows, Japanese tit, Hibari, Hibari, Hibari, Hibari, Hibari, varied tit, dusky thrush, Kazura, Starlings, Shigi and herons. It can be seen that the beauty of Japan has been made over hundreds of years.
Another figure is the famous "Taro Hachiman Yoshiyazu", Yoshiie Minamotono, the ancestor of Minamoto no Yoritomo, said, "When I lie down in Hyono, I break the goose line" when I saw the flock of goes being disturbed, when I learned that there was a disguise.
Now, if you go somewhere deep green or mountains, you will not be able to meet these birds. I hope that the world will become brighter with the principles of coexistence with nature, self-interest and others.
Finally, the figure of Seven Lucky Gods was displayed. It is a figure of the gods of India, China, and Japan together, often on a treasure ship, but this picture also depicts birds on land. Bensaiten, Vaisravana, Fukurokuju, Kotobuki, Hotei, Ebisu and Daikoku.
I wish you 2018 a good year for you.
(In addition, the national treasure Oukyo Maruyama “Yukimatsu-zu folding screen” will be on display from 1/4 to 2/4 next year.)
