Around Ginza 5-chome 13-9 to 14.
From the explanation board indicated by the Chuo-ku Board of Education, you can see that "Kano Painting School" had a reasonable size.
There is an explanation board at the corner of Sun Building on the northeast side where Showa-dori and Miyuki-dori intersect.
It seems that there was an art school in the back area.
It is located one block south of the newly renovated Kabukiza Theater, which will be dropped in April.
This area is the neighborhood of "Kibikicho" in terms of the place name of Edo.
What was the art school in Kano school that continued throughout the Edo period?
Speaking of Kano school, Japanese history textbooks also show shohekiga boldly depicting flowers and trees such as "Tang Lion" and "Pine" on golden land.
It was founded by Masanobu Kano, a painter of the Muromachi Shogunate.
Since Muromachi, he has been tied to the powers of the time, such as Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Shogunate, and has solidified his ground at the center of the art gallery.
The image of Azuchi-Momoyama culture in me is strongly influenced by the shohekiga created by Kano school painters.
From the Imperial Household Agency Sannomaru Shozokan, you can feel the magnificent radiance of Momoyama.
During the Edo period, Yotsuya Kano took power as a master painter.
The three brothers, Kano Shuyu (Morinobu), Shoshin, and Yasunobu, each had a worship house from the Shogunate in Kajibashi, Kibiki-cho (initially Takekawa-cho), and Nakahashi, respectively, and became the founder of each Kano family. . Later, it was called Kano Yotsuya, together with the Hamacho Kano family of Shinshin, which was branched from Kibiki-cho.
Looking at the old map of Edo, the worship mansion is displayed in the white of the samurai area.
The Oku-e artist was said to have been allowed to see the general and have a sword, so he had the same formal style as Hagimoto.
Since the Kano clan inherited the Oku painter, you can see the momentum.
Was there a demand for painting?
Even the fusuma picture surrounding the hall of Edo Castle alone is enormous.
When it comes to creating a magnificent group of works that show off the authority of the Shogun family, an organizational production system similar to construction work would have been required.
From paintings on sliding-door panel and folding screens to kakejiku and folding fans, production and restoration work continues.
Indeed, when there are no printers, a group of skilled painters is needed.
And the Kano family was also a producer who led the group of painters and led the whole.
It is said that the Kobikicho Kano family's painting school, which is said to have been the most prosperous in Kano Yotsuya, was attended by children of painters from various clans at the age of 14.5, and spent more than 10 years of training. .
More than 50.60 junior high school students were constantly improving their skills and waiting for the opportunity to enter the world.
The mansion was also vast because he had many juku students, stored a wide variety of art materials, and stored various works.
The ambitions of young painters would have been swirling in the painting school.
With the Oku-e artist Yotsuya at the top, 15 houses called "Omote-eshi" were the paintings of the Shogunate and temples and shrines.
Painters called "Machi Kano" responded to the demands of townspeople.
The activities of these painters laid the foundations of Edo culture.
It is said that Kano school's learning method was simply copying an example.
In a sense, it was necessary to not show individuality when conducting organized production by groups.
However, in the sense of the common people, Kano school appears as a formal and stagnant painting and applauds the ukiyo-e who freely asserts individuality.
This feeling continues even now, and the works of Kano school during the Edo period are not very popular.
However, Kano school, which was at the center of the art gallery for 400 years from the middle of Muromachi to the end of the Edo period, continues to have a great influence on Japanese culture.
The worship residence of Kano Yotsuya is located in Chuo-ku, so that it is convenient for climbing Edo Castle.
