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."

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....」

What a good day! I was surrounded by works and took up a luxurious time alone. We have received permission to post photos, so please enjoy the photos first, and then take a look at the venue.

The last day of "Fujiya Hotel Maintenance" Saturday, February 23

"What is Kogei?...On the last day, March 19 (Tuesday)

10am-6pm

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.

"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.
