Taisho Roman x Hundred Steps in Hotel Gajoen Tokyo
<Until Sunday, June 12>
Hello, this is the new correspondent "Take-chan".
For the "14th Chuo-ku Tourism Test" held on January 15, 2022, when I was studying hard for a long time using the company's winter vacation, I learned about Yumeji Takehisa for the first time.
I think many people know "Takehisa Yumeji", but I will briefly introduce it to those who say "Who is Takehisa Yumeji?" like "Take-chan" six months ago.
"Takehisa Yumeji" is so famous that it can be easily introduced, but in a nutshell, he is an artist representing "Taisho era Roman". If you search for "Yumeji Takehisa", you can get as many detailed stories as you want.
Last year, the story depicting Yumeji's life, "Yume Chidori" (starring: Kazuki Sora-san), was performed at Takarazuka Bau Hall for only four days. Yumeji-san is also famous for Takarazuka Revue fan (zuka fan).
If you search for "What is Taisho Romance?", It is a modern society where you can get as much detailed information as possible, but in short, it seems to be "a word that expresses a culture that makes you feel the atmosphere of the Taisho era". After the Meiji era of Civilization and enlightenment, the Taisho era, when Japanese-Western eclectic culture flourished, seems to have been a turbulent era.
Greeting from the opening of "Minatoya Ezo Paper Shop" in 1914 by Tamaki Kishi
There was autumn on the sidewalk of the downtown area.
The port shop has a lively woodcut painting and a nice place
Lithographs, cards, picture books, poetry books, etc.
In addition, she is suitable for Japanese girls.
Parasols, dolls, Chiyogami, half-collar
I'm at a restaurant that sells riddles.
I don't want to do it because it's a woman's hand.
If it's easy to reach, if the city becomes a shadow
Come for a walk
Please.

Opened at Gofuku Bridge in 1914 (Daisho 3), "Minatoya Ezoku Paper Store" sells woodcuts, picture books, poetry collections, Chiyogami, furoshiki, yukata, etc. designed by young women's favorite painter Yumeji. It seems that it was. It is close to Tokyo Station, which just opened in the same year, and seems to have become a popular shop where young women are packed every day.

"Yoimachikusa" depicts the love of summer in a poem by Yumeji. As soon as it was announced in 1918, it was said that it became a million hit nationwide in a blink of an eye. It's J-POP 100 years ago. Yumeji demonstrated his talent as a graphic designer in the painting of "Senoo Music". It is said that the total number of "Senoo scores" is more than 1,000 songs, but Yumeji works on about 270 cover paintings. It seems that many people bought music scores to buy Yumeji's paintings.
Taisho Roman x Hundred Steps in Hotel Gajoen Tokyo
"Hundred Steps" is a Tangible Cultural Property designated by Tokyo Metropolitan Government in "Hotel Gajoen Tokyo" in Meguro, where you can feel the eclectic culture of Japanese and Western even today. A wonderful project called "Taisho Roman x Hundred Steps" is being held until June 12th. It is a very recommended event for Yumeji Takehisa and those who are interested in Taisho romance!
At this event, there are many companies related to Chuo-ku, such as Minatoya, Shochiku Costume, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, Pilot Corporation, and HARIO Lampwork Factory.
