"The World of Galle and Dome" [Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 20, 2017 14:00

At the gallery on the 7th floor of the new building of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, "Okada Art Museum Collection-Japonism West and Japan-World Exhibition of Glass Crafts and Domes" is being held.

This exhibition focuses on 'Japonism' when the glass works of Emir Galle and the Dome Brothers, which are treasured by the Okada Museum of Art in Hakone, are open to the public for the first time, and the museum is proud of art Nouveau crafts and the vast collection of Japanese art. "

When I actually see the works of Gare and the Dome brothers up close, I realize that the influence of Japonisme was so amazing.

There is no sense of discomfort even though Kiitsu Suzuki's folding screen, Katsushika Hokusai, Jakuchu Ito's kakejiku, Korin Makie, and Komari are on display next to the works of Galle and Dome Brothers.

Personally, I was impressed by the fineness of insects and snails placed on the surface of glass works.

In addition, the lighting at the venue also made the wonderfulness of the work even more prominent, and in particular, in the corner of the lamp, I was healed by the light emitted from the work.

It's an exhibition that I want to see slowly and slowly.

The event will be held until January 23 (Monday).

Kabuki in early spring is being performed in four theaters this year in Tokyo, and it is very busy in January. Today's third seat. I came to the Kabukiza Theater. The hall is a gorgeous thing suitable for the New Year. I realized again that it was a theater that I could enjoy the feeling of New Year's mood most. In the daytime part, the 3rd generation simultaneous name was announced, "Resign from Shogun Edo", which was entitled "150 years of reign of the great government" (Do you think it is early), and Yoshinobu, who will be named the tenth generation Koshiro next year, Yoshinobu, Ainosuke plays Tetsutaro Yamaoka. The second act is "Otsu-e Dojo-ji Temple", where Ainosuke plays the five roles of Fujimusume, sitting head, boatman, falconer, and Otsu-e demon in an early stage, and Somegoro becomes Goro at the root of the arrow. The last is "Numazu" by Emon Yoshiemon and Utaroku, a luxurious performance that is happy in early spring. It is usually a lunch box for depa underground, but today I had a luxurious "New Year Feast" (including 4,000 yen) with a friend twice "Otori". Comes with kuzuri dessert.

Come home! "Kyodai Shoran" @ Nihonbashi & Ryogoku

[Nanako Tsukishima] January 16, 2017 16:00

At the beginning of the year, from the introduction of my favorite "Kyodai Shoran".

The reproduction picture scroll "Kidai Shoran" in the underground concourse of Tokyo Metro "Mitsukoshi-mae" station.
After watching a movie at COREDO Muromachi, when I shop at the Mitsukoshi Main Store, I always stop by "Kyodai Shoran".
1671 people and animals (20 dogs, 13 horses, 4 cows, 1 monkeys, 2 hawks, etc.) are drawn in a picture scroll about 17m in length (1.4 times the original picture), so no matter where you look, I was drawn into the Nihonbashi area 210 years ago and forgot the time and looked into it.

The details of "Kyodai Shoran" are left to "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", etc., and this time, I got information that this "Kyodai Shoran" will return home for the first time in 11 years, so I immediately explored it. Was.
                       
Unfortunately, the place to return is the Edo Tokyo Museum in Koto-ku next door.      
In order to obtain specific information, I would like to call directly and ask.

・special exhibition held from February 18 (Sat) to April 9 (Sun)   IMG_1147.JPG
"Edo and Beijing - City and Living in the 18th Century -"
In a part of urban life, I depicted the city of Beijing.
In order to display them side by side with "Manju Morinori".
I will return home from Germany to the museum for the first time in 11 years.
・However, when (how many days) will be exhibited during the period?
It is undecided today.
That's right.

"Kyodai Shoran" means "the scenery of Oedo, which is the winner of the Kiyo (Kagaya). I'm really looking forward to the day when I can meet the "winning landscape" returning home.
