Galerie Tamenaga, which celebrated its 50th anniversary, begins the "Izpiri Exhibition"

1. February 18, 2019 14:00

100_3107.JPG 100_3105.JPG

Galerie Tamenaga, which opened in 1969 as a gallery specializing in Western painting, celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the exhibition of Paul Ispiri, which has been introduced since its founding, began on February 14. As Mr. Tamenaga's greeting says, "I couldn't think of the first thing I picked up in the 50th anniversary project except Aizupiri."

Speaking of Aizupiri, there are many light works of warm colors, such as children, airplanes, bicycles, fish, birds, and of course flowers, Santrope, Venice, and I always feel that Aizupiri is good to decorate my house. (I would be even more happy if I could buy it.) There are 40 points lined up and just looking at them makes you feel happy.

In 1969, when the founder Kiyoji Tamenaga opened the gallery, it was only more than 10 years since the Western Art Museum was opened, and Japanese knowledge of West painting was still unavailable. This gallery also introduced Echoard Pali painters who were still unknown in Japan at the time, Modi Liani, Van Dongen, Kissling, Chagall, etc. Please take a look at "Half-century trajectory of painters and painters who have walked together since their founding."

100_3083.JPG 100_3084.JPG

I would like to introduce two of the exhibitions being held at LIXIL Gallery in Kyobashi.

One is the repair of the Fujiya Hotel.

Fujiya Hotel, a landmark in Hakone. Classic hotels, which celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2018, are well known for their many fans who want to stay again once. This time, "Hakone has a corporate culture that can be covered by everything in-house since its establishment. In the past, there were car companies and ranches, and not only laundry but also daily printed materials on their own.

The times have often changed in the wave of efficiency in circulation, but it is still the repair and repair of Fujiya Hotel's architecture and furniture and fixtures, as described in the pamphlet. It is a slightly different exhibition focusing on the work of the hotel's "repair" job.

First of all, the guest room "Hana Goten's Room Key", which is about 20x10cm. All the information cards in the hotel are also on display of the printing type used at that time, from the work of "Maintenance" to the menu card.

The other is the 18th edition of the “Future of Creation” series, “What is“ Kogei ”?...It's an exhibition.

Twelve works of ceramics, dyeing and weaving, metalwork, bamboo work, and kirikin by 12 contemporary craft artists, including two important cultural property holders (living national treasures), are exhibited. According to the supervisor Ryohei Miyata, "If we can ask what art is from the ground up by bringing together works with transmission power that make use of various materials and techniques....」

Setsubun, Ritsuharu and February also started running. I remember Tatsunosuke Onoe, who died too early at the age of 40, as if it had been so long after seeing that "the first Tatsunosuke Onoe 33rd anniversary".

When the night performance "Mezuki Hachiman Festival" (Shinsuke Shuya) was performed at Kabukiza in 1983, Shinsuke Shuya was Tatsunosuke, Miyoshi was Takao (Nizaemon), and Geisha Miyoyoshi was Tamasaburo . This time, there is a follow-up, and Nizaemon and Tamasaburo meet the relationship with Matsu Midori. The enchanting entanglement between Tamasaburo and Nizaemon, the role of Joyu, creates a unique atmosphere of a famous combination for many years. In the scene where Shinsuke Shuya, who was betrayed and confused by the drizzle of the collapse of Eitai Bridge on the day of the Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Festival, killed Miyokichi, when the drizzle spread on the stage, the vinyl cover distributed `` for the use of this water '' It is a turn. It's distributed up to the second row today. It's something exciting to find it on your seat.

 

100_3076.JPG 100_3078.JPG

"Today's Holiday Harukoma" is a dance of Soga kyogen, and Goro Soga's eldest son is near the left of Matsu Midori's eldest son, but Kumatori also appears very well, and his neighbor "It looks like Tatsunonosuke!" 。 "Kumagaya Jinya" is Mr. Yoshiemon, and the psychology of Kumagaya is transmitted straight, and handkerchiefs are here and there. It's a famous performance.

Matsu Midori plays the first role of "Sushiya" Igami Gonta in the daytime, and is "Oshimatsu in the Darkness" and "Dango sales".

Special brewing "Kumagaya" and "Igami no Gonta" have been released following this month's performance.

The 26th of February Daikabuki is Senakiraku.

You may encounter "Kabuki actor Haraishi" - "Kids Kabuki School Terakoya" First Performance Performance-Part2 from Rehearsal Hall

1. January 27, 2019 14:00

For the second time today, let's introduce the rehearsal scenery of the junior high school section "Kibikicho Wakabaza".

(Click here for the previous article ⇒ /archive/2019/01/part.html)

 

Students who have completed the “ume”, “bamboo” and “pine” courses of “Terakoya” by the sixth grade of elementary school, and are proceeding to the junior high school section are completely different from the elementary school class because they grow fast at this time. The performance is "Fujimusume" male "Kotobuki Soga face-to-face".

"Fujimusume" is said to dance one song with four people. I just saw Umeeda and Kotaro's "Two Fuji Musume" last December, but you can make various versions. The guidance of the teachers, "Don't be distracted," "I'm going to be a Fujimusume until the end," and "The fan is fluffy."

 

"Kotobuki Soga face-to-face" is only 7 boys. The cast will be replaced with two types, one that is often performed in Tokyo and one that is often performed in Kansai.

When the instructor enters the rehearsal hall, the air in the room tightens in an instant. I didn't care about it, too. As Suketsune Kudo's role, "Today's Yukei is going to work together with Ichitta," the two instructors are very busy when the voice of going well begins. Detailed attention, such as "Be careful about the tempo of the line" and "Think who you are talking to" fly. How to hold smoke tubes, manners where you can see swords, etc. It's a serious and passionate instruction. As you know, it is a play of "Kabuki's role large collection", which includes Goro of Arashi, Juro of Japanese affairs, Asahina of clowns, as well as the role of Oiso's tiger and female form, but "Is it a strange period?" It is useless to worry about extra things, it is a whole and uncomfortable work.

 

The instructors and staff of the guidance seem to be in charge from the time of enrollment, and realize the solid growth of the students who know from an early age, such as "That child who could not sit straight ..." It looks like you are. It is a performance by students who have learned the fun of Kabuki by themselves, so it is guaranteed that the audience will be able to experience "Kabuki, Fun!" Please go out with your family. The lessons with enthusiasm continue. I'm really looking forward to the stage of the day.

You can meet the "Haruishi of the Kabuki World"-Part1 from the rehearsal hall

1. January 26, 2019 14:00

flyer_omote[1]. jpg flyer_ura[1]. jpg

"I'm watching from this actor's performance show performance," do you want to be proud of 10 or 20 years later?

 

The first performance of the students of the Children's Kabuki School Terakoya, who continue to practice at the Kabukiza Theater, will be held on March 10 (Matsu course students) and 24 (Junior high school section). This time, I was interviewed about the lesson. We will introduce the passionate rehearsal scenery in two parts for the first performance.

 

There are many kyogen dances that play an important role in Kabuki, such as Chimatsu and Chiyo Tsuru of the predecessor Hagi, Taroyoshi of the real story, Miyoshi of Shigeno Iko Farewell, and Terakoya, which is also the name of this school. Do you know what kind of children are appearing in this child role? When asked to the person in charge, he said, "Not only the relatives and room children of actors, but also students of children's Kabuki School Terakoya, those who belong to children's theater companies, and others who introduce them."

 

"Kids Kabuki School Terakoya" opened in 2014 and teaches the basics from the basics, focusing on the skills necessary for Kabuki children, such as Japanese manners, Kabuki's unique vocalization, gestures, and acting. Recruitment is "Plum Course" for about 10 people each for "Kakigumi" from 4 to 6 years old and "Moegigumi" from 1st to 4th graders. It's a narrow gate. Applicants can go ahead with the "Bamboo Course" and "Pine Course" and learn in earnest in the junior high school section.

 

For the first time, I will introduce you to the Momotaro "Hyakumokagari" on March 10th, and the children of the pine course from the second grade to the fifth grade of elementary school. This is an original dance play that was newly created for this performance after Momotaro defeated the demon. The script is a luxurious version of Kazuhisa Tobe, director / choreography / Kanjuro Fujima, composition / Mitaro Kineya, Sakucho / Denzaemon Tanaka, etc., and a luxurious performance.

momomomo[1]. jpg momomomo_(2)[1]. jpg

When you visit the training hall, you will greet the children and me on the tour in front of the fan in front of you! I'm sorry. The lesson has begun. "In addition, I am the Momotaro's loyal lord, the dog's loyal lord, Shiro-daira, the dog's loyal," and Shiro-daira's proud arm of a dog with a white arms ..." Practice the vocalization of "the guy" many times according to the instructor's guidance. The long lines were not stagnant, the surroundings and sights were decided, and they entered the hall. It's so good as "It's OK tomorrow!" I was convinced that among the students of the "Pine Course", the children who were selected after the audition. It seems that many of the performers are already on the stage of this performance. I'm looking forward to it.

 

Children's Kabuki School Terakoya's first performance show performance "Kabuki, fun!"

2019 "First Play"-Hatsuharu Daikabuki-Kabukiza

1. January 12, 2019 12:00

100_3063.JPG 100_3064.JPG

 

I came to the last show of "Heisei". In January, in addition to Shimbashi Enbujo, Asakusa Public Hall, the National Theater and Kabukiza, three theaters are also Kabuki performances! When you enter the Kabukiza lobby, you can enjoy the gorgeousness of early spring with decorations such as large kagami mochi, kites and rice cake flowers, as well as the New Year's dress.

 

100_3068.JPG 100_3066.JPG

 

It's full. I'm a little worried that my neck will hurt because it's near the flower path in the first row today.

The first act of the night part is "Amagasaki quiet place" called "Taju" in "Picture Taikoki". It's a masterpiece of Gitayu Kyogen. Mitsuhide is Yoshiemon, his son Jiro is Koshiro, his son, Tozo, the role of Satsuki, is ill and has been absent from the 4th, and the substitute is Hidetaro. Speaking of which, Mr. Sadanji of theater is also out of physical condition. The actor has no rest for 25 days, so it's certainly hard work. After the lively "shi lion" is "Sho-chiku-bai Yushima Kakebana". It is a comical Oshichi Yaoya, with Shichinosuke on Shichi, Koshiro on Yoshi Saburo, and Sarunosuke on Hyokinsha's "Redcho" on Sarunosuke, and the audience seats are laughing. "The Seven of the Ogura" is performed with a doll swing, and applause excites the work that can only be seen by Shichinosuke's completely Bunraku dolls. I always think that the scene of "The Seven of the Ogura" is one of the best stage art in terms of "beauty". In the snow that is getting more intense. It is really beautiful that the seven red kago-shaped costume climbs the tower.

When I came home and started changing clothes, the snow began to fall. I feel the lingering sound of the stage and it is "Fufufufu". This year's New Year Kabuki is popular among children. Kunitachi has two grandchildren, Kikugoro, and theater has two children, Ebizo. Please go out to feel the feeling of "early spring".

For early spring Kabuki Senakiraku, please contact Tickethon Shochiku at 0570-000-489 (10:00-18:00)

In the daytime section, "Tode Sanbaso", "Yoshinari Kotobuki Soga", "Kkakubun" and "Ichijo Daikura Tan".
