I went to "Takehisa Yumeji Museum"!
100 years ago, the era was Taisho era (1912-1926). It was a short period of just 15 years, but recently the good old culture and customs called "Taisho Roman" have attracted attention.
A painter Yumeji Takehisa, a symbol of Taisho romance, where his wife, Kishi Tamaki, set up a shop called Minatoya near Gofuku Bridge. I knew that Yumeji's museum was located in Yayoicho, Bunkyo-ku, and went out immediately.
Land related to the excavation of Yayoi pottery
What is the pottery discovered in 1884 (1884) near Yayoicho, where the museum is located?
Yes, the correct answer is "Yayoi pottery".
So, wasn't the concept of Yayoi period before 1884? I'll check it out next time.
At the border between the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Tokyo, there was a monument to "the land related to the excavation of Yayoi pottery".
You can get to the Takehisa Yumeji Museum in about a 5-minute walk from the land related to it.
Trivia in the Taisho era
Here are some of the "Trivia during the Taisho Era" purchased at the Yumeji Takehisa Museum. Most of the museums are banned from photography, so I've been writing hard.
Mandolin was a pandemic in 1913, and in 1914, Mitsukoshi kimono store newly opened, and Tokyo Station opened. The U.S. turmoil occurred in 1918 and the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Radio broadcasting started in 1925, and "Modern Girl" became a buzzword in 1926, and it seems that people called "occupation women" were born as new variations of working women.
The Taisho era was a short period, but you can imagine how the times changed at a rapid pace.
Ladies of Taisho Roman
The beauty paintings drawn by Yumeji Takehisa led the fashion of the Taisho era. At the time, the costumes of women symbolizing the Taisho era inspired by beauty paintings were also attracting attention. Many women look at magazines and go to department stores to enjoy shopping with friends. It was the Taisho era that an era where you can enjoy freedom just like this modern age started.
