"Mitsui Family Hina" Exhibition

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] February 15, 2018 09:00

Setsubun, the day before spring, the turning point from winter to spring, has passed.

I think there are many people who have driven away demons in bean-throwing ceremony, turned to Eho, and ate a single thick sushi roll to wish sound health.

 

Now, next is the time of the peach festival in Hinamatsuri on March 3rd, which is held to pray for the health and happiness of girls.

At the Mitsui Museum of Art, as usual, during the period when the "Mitsui Family's Hina-sama" was capitalized in Kyoto (Heian-kyo 794-1868), it was mainly decorated from Hina doll to Meiji period, which was sold here at 10 shops in Nihonbashi (now around 3-chome Muromachi).


Although not shown in the photo here, the sight of a set of chicks displayed on the hinadan reminds us of the elegant court of the Heian period. If you look at this, it may be an opportunity to regain the tranquility of your mind.

  

In addition, tea utensils are also on display, and the Rakuchawan has a pleasant shape to watch at any time.

Noh costumes, Noh masks, frowned women in the Muromachi period, etc., lieutenant, and scarlet masks are on display.
