Four things from "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA"
On December 12, last year, 14 correspondents of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association visited "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA". While the winter exhibition "Winter Goldfish Glittering in the Lights-Christmas of the Art Aquarium-(November 29-December 26, 2022)" is being held, Amuseum Parks, who plans, produces and operates the museum, guided us around the museum. "ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA" is a permanent exhibition in Nihonbashi in 2020, which moved to the 8th floor of the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building and reopened on May 3, 2022. "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA" is based on the theme of "Hyakka Ryoran-Evolving Art".
Evolution 1 More Japan
A collection of masks decorated all over the wall in front of the entrance. Beyond that, "Ginza Man Lantern" is a place where various hanging lanterns create a unique atmosphere. Edo Kiriko and bonsai are placed on the Goldfish decorative shelf, and as you go further, shoji door and origami co-star with the goldfish. "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA" has a production that uses plenty of elements of "Japanese".
Evolution 2 More Adults
"Art Aquarium Museum GINZA" displays more delicate and calm works, including "Goldfish Falls (left photo)" and "Origamirium (right photo)". You may be conscious of the location in Ginza Mitsukoshi.
Evolution 3 More Goldfish
The Edo period when the goldfish boom arrived. At that time, there was no glass aquarium, and it was mainstream to put it in tubs and pottery and see it from above, and even today, this "Uwami" is still the correct way to appreciate goldfish. In "New Goldfish Product Review", you can watch and enjoy 24 kinds of goldfish carefully. By the way, "Ping Pong Pearl", whose body is round like a ping-pong ball and has a pearl-like scale, seems to be one of the most popular goldfish now.
Evolution 4 More Collaboration
The work exhibited as a bird of "Art Aquarium Museum GINZA" is a collaboration "Flowerrium" between goldfish and flower artist Shogo Kariyazaki. It seems that Shogo Kariyazaki himself sometimes comes to the maintenance of this work. Digital art with a goldfish motif was displayed at the place out of the exhibition space, and a number of collaboration products were sold at the museum shop opposite it. In particular, there are plenty of collaboration sweets with such long-established brands such as Toraya, Tsuruya Yoshinobu, Ginza Kikunoya, Matsuzaki Senbei, Kintaro Ame Honten, Eitarou Sohonpo, Ueno Fugetsudo, and Shiseido Parra. As a shokushinbo, I would like to expect new collaboration sweets as well as new special exhibitions.
