At this time, when I was looking forward to the flowering information of the cherry blossoms, I received a letter of invitation for the annual "Spring House Exhibition" and reminded me of "Hanami" in a conditional reflective manner. Every year, the cherry blossom viewing season and the exhibition period are the same. 67 more times this year. It is said that the "Spring House Exhibition" began to be held in 1945 in addition to the "In Exhibition" to be held from September 1 in autumn. The venue was also at the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store. The relationship between the sponsoring organization, the Japan Art Academy and Mitsukoshi, seems to be long, and the first revival-in exhibition was also held at Nihonbashi Surugacho Mitsukoshi Kimono Store in 1914 (1914) ("Hoin Exhibition 100 Years" (Shogakukan)). By the way, the character of the title belongs to Yukihiko Yasuda, the first president of the Japan Art Academy.

On the first day of today, I went to Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi immediately. On the first day, you can see a famous doujin. Is it the newly selected new painter who is guided by an acquaintance and explained in front of the work? It's somewhat smiling.

As is well known, "Nippon Art Academy" is an art organization in Arino founded in 1898, led by Tenshin Okakura.
In the old days, Taikan Yokoyama and Seison Maeda belonged, and in recent years Tamako Kataoka and Ikuo Hirayama painter belonged.
According to the list of Japanese painting, 870 entries were submitted, of which 314 were selected and 32 were exhibited.

If you meet the work of a new artist who is attracted to somewhere, if you look at it the next year and the next year, you will be awarded "Don't make much progress" or "The style has changed" or again! You may also be able to encounter a happy happening.

Can you reach "doujin" in the final goal of "special waiting" and "invitation" from "first winning"? It is also a pleasure of the exhibition to find your favorite new writer with your eyes. Even if you can not find it this time, the venue is "Hundred Flower Ryoran" a little earlier in "Full bloom".

As you climb up the slope made of wood, you will reach the Wood Terrace.

This month is just one year from Great East Japan Earthquake. Various projects and activities are being carried out in various places.
Today, I went to one of them, a series of exhibitions called "Remembrance 3.11" held at Nikon Salon in Ginza. In Remembrance 3.11, from February 24 to March 26, we are supporting reconstruction with the power of photography through the works of eight photographers, special exhibition and five symposiums.

From March 14th to 20th, Taku Arai's photo exhibition "Here and There: Tomorrow's Island" Since last year, Arai has visited Fukushima and its surroundings many times and photographed one by one.

The daguerreotype is the world's first practical photography technology that began in the first half of the 19th century. It is said that a silver plate polished on a complete mirror surface is photographed directly in a camera and developed with mercury vapor. (From the article by Mr. Arai himself published in the March 21 issue of Newsweek Japan.)

 

When you enter the venue and stand in front of the work, you can appreciate each and every work with the lights. The expressions of people and animals staring at this, appearing in the illuminated venue. Some backgrounds of the work were very wide and empty. Before the earthquake, there must have been various buildings and landscapes here.

The characteristics of the daguerreotype are that they cannot be replicated and that the left and right sides of the image are inverted. We are beings that no one can replicate. And the image of the left and right reversal that we usually see is myself in the mirror. Arai's work is also a mirror that conveys the hearts of the viewer.

Here and There - Tomorrow's Island Taku Arai Photo Exhibition
Venue: Ginza Nikon Salon (in Nikon Plaza Ginza 7-10-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku)
Period: From 10:30 to 18:30 until March 20 (until 15:00 on the last day)

 

 

Before the Equinox Day, I came to feel the soft sunlight. Crocus is one of the first flowers to tell spring. Now, the crocus is spreading all over the Paris Square of Ishikawajima Park. The scenery where pretty flowers are in full bloom is best to see with your eyes than photos, so please come and see the real thing.

     

I can countless yellow, white, and purple crocusts at my feet, and when I look at the sky, the sky tree is clear. It was a luxurious walk.

 

Currently, Tadashi Kawamata's "View from Tokyo In Progress Sumida River" is under construction in Paris Square.

I'm looking forward to what I can do about opening on March 20.
