Will not have much people to know the name of Katsushika Oi.
Of course, I also did not know its name.
Should be a person from the name, there was a Yukari and Katsushika Hokusai, easily imagine that.
In the third daughter of Hokusai, rare in the Edo period, Katsushika Oi was a woman painter.
The exhibition, which was held in Ota Memorial Museum of Art kudzu Tokyo, Harajuku, it could be seeing the work of the Katsushika Oi.
And one point ahead of original painting view Noriyuki Yoshihara lattice, was on display at this exhibition, only prints of illustrations of book bound in Japanese style of Takai Lanshan called "Woman Symbol come in handy."
Huh? Only it? I thought it was, but the original painting of Katsushika Oi has not been confirmed only 10 points only about around the world. Also book bound in Japanese style of printmaking, there are only two points.
The term can be in the eye at a time of them, two points, if you think about it, it's a luxury opportunity.
Earlier view Hiroyuki Yoshihara lattice work elaborate from between the lattice dark outside, that many people, looking through, a gorgeous in-store appearance of red light district.
People are drawn in color bright colors, are excluded from the outside, beautiful kimono of the prostitute in the store is painted in black silhouette of the shadow. The contrast is beautiful.
This work depicted aware of the light source, obviously, the influence of Western painting can be seen. I ask about the confidence of the arm of this painter named Katsushika Oi that have mastered the technology.
The venue, ukiyo-e to start the father of Hokusai, ukiyo-e by Toyokuni, Kuniyoshi, and Sakaeizumi, representing the night was also on display.
Representation of the traditional night of Japan is very different from the work of Oi. That in the representation does not pay much attention to the light source, generally, bright at short, and that, draw dark things far away, in the era of the Edo period of live Oi, Western influence went spread gradually well seen.
Come to think of it, once, in the works of Kaneto Shindo director, there was a movie called Hokusai manga. Ogata Ken has played a Hokusai, Tanaka Yuko has had played, was really a Oi.
It was also depicted in the movie, Oi seems was a woman that I inherited as it is the character of Hokusai.
Good at drawing, especially women, work of Hokusai in his later years, many of the women of the original painting in particular, that's what Oi drew.
Takai Lanshan "Woman useful Symbol", which has marked the accomplishment should protect women, Oi depicts a number of illustrations.
Oi are drawn beautifully, a variety of situations. Rather than one that is deformed, such as Utamaro, naturally indeed, expression of women, depicts the expression.
It is not known dates of birth and death that was clearly of Oi. It is believed born around 1800 in (Kansei year), and died in the year of Keio Bakumatsu. Dark side of the moon is larger that life.
However, those works that are left with little, be telling us today, that it ever existed, woman painter with that this Katsushika Oi, a solid arm, was active.
This exhibition, the named Katsushika Oi was supposed to be engraved deeply in my heart.

葛飾応為 吉原格子之先図 光と影の美（太田記念美術館）
葛飾応為の名前を知る人はそれほどいないだろう。
無論、わたしも、その名前を知らなかった。
その名前から、葛飾北斎とゆかりのあった人物であることは、容易に想像がつく。
葛飾応為は、北斎の三女にして、江戸時代では珍しい、女性絵師だった。
東京、原宿の太田記念美術館で開催された展覧会では、その葛飾応為の作品を目にすることが出来た。
この展覧会で展示されたのは、吉原格子之先図という肉筆画1点と、高井蘭山の『女重宝記』という和本の挿絵の版画のみ。
えっ？それだけ？と思ったが、葛飾応為の肉筆画は、世界中にわずか10点程度しか確認されていない。版画の和本も、2点しかない。
そのうちの、2点を一度に目にすることが出来るとは、考えてみれば、贅沢な機会だ。
吉原格子之先図は、遊郭の店内の華やかな様子を、外の暗い格子の間から、多くの人がのぞいている、という趣向を凝らした作品。
店内の遊女の美しい着物は、色鮮やかな色彩で描かれ、外からのぞいている人々は、黒い影のシルエットで描かれている。そのコントラストが美しい。
光源を意識して描かれているこの作品には、明らかに、西洋絵画の影響が見て取れる。その技術を会得しているこの葛飾応為という画家の腕の確かさが伺える。
会場には、父の北斎をはじめ、豊国、国芳、栄泉などの浮世絵師による、夜を表現した浮世絵も展示されていた。
日本の伝統的な夜の表現は、応為のその作品とは大きく異なっている。光源はあまり意識せず、概して、近くのものを明るく、遠くのものを暗く描く、という表現方法で、応為の生きた幕末の時代に、西洋の影響が徐々に広まっていったことがよくわかる。
そういえば、かつて、新藤兼人監督の作品で、北斎漫画、という映画があった。緒形拳が北斎を演じ、田中裕子が演じていたのが、実は応為だった。
その映画の中でも描かれていたが、応為は、北斎の性格をそのまま受け継いだような女性だったようだ。
特に女性を描くのが得意で、晩年の北斎の作品、特に肉筆画の女性の多くは、応為が描いたものだという。
高井蘭山の『女重宝記』は、女性が守るべきたしなみを記したもので、応為は、数多くの挿絵を描いている。
さまざまなシチュエーションを、応為は見事に描いている。女性の表情は、歌麿のようなデフォルメされたものではなく、実に自然に、その表情を描いている。
応為のはっきりとした生没年はわかっていない。1800年頃（寛政年間）に生まれ、幕末の慶応年間に没したと考えられている。その生涯も不明な部分が多い。
しかし、わずかながら残されたそれらの作品は、この葛飾応為という、確かな腕を備えた女性絵師が、かつて存在し、活躍していたことを、今日の私たちに伝えてくれる。
葛飾応為というその名前は、この展覧会によって、私の心に深く刻まれることになった。

Kawaii Japanese Art (Yamatane Museum of Art)
(Translated by Google Translate)
Exhibition on the theme was held at the mountain species Museum in Tokyo, in Hiroo, a "cute". Depicting the lovely sight of children and animals, many Japanese paintings (some even foreign film) was exhibition.
I was surprised at first to visit the venue. Times to purchase a ticket, it is not very long, but they can column.
This museum, from moving to the following location, and arranged in such a column it's for the first time. I asked the person in charge, visitors Kinoshita wildlife figure screen mercenary Ito Jakuchu that, if not in many cases.
Indeed, Jakuchu.
Also the venue, and mixed enough that you have not ever experienced. In front of Jakuchu of Kudan, a long line are made. For a while, we decided to watch the other works.
I love, work Nagasawa Ashiyuki two points, exhibition. Hyakutsuru diagrams Karakozaki play diagrams.
Diagram is enjoying accomplishment to be able to literally, many children of Chinese, calligraphy, koto, and Go, Karakozaki play diagram, the accomplishment of the literati. The child seems, is everywhere, fight seems to be happening.
The Hyakutsuru-zu, up to hundred animals do not go, but a lot of crane is depicted on the screen of the portrait. At the top of the screen, from the other side of the mountain, formation of cranes are flying towards the place.
From a distance, Ashiyuki are drawn carefully with a fine brush tip, the manner in which towards the close, are making the ranks neatly crane. Depending on the perspective, or, as in the cartoon fluent, it looks like a photo has been continuous shooting, it appears from a distance, even when the crane to come flying towards the place more and more.
The aim of such effect clearly, Ashiyuki depicts this figure. The vibrant appearance of many children, in the picture that should remain stationary, Former, Karakozaki Figures in play, so that can feel the movement.
Kawasaki Shouko's dream of home. Children traveling entertainer of lion dance arts is, sleeping and lying in the grass. The around, children, and recalls the home in a dream, the various scenes is depicted fantastic.
Somehow, reminds the world of Chagall, It's a great work indeed.
Sekiyama Gocyo, Ryukyu children view. The folding screen of 4 twin, Ryukyu children of five people, wearing a Bingata. Background's orange, but on it, coupled with the pattern, Bingata of each girl red, blue, and yellow, beautiful anyway.
Theme of this work, it is just color.
Several points, Pieces charming Takeuchi Seiho were on display. Painted frog floating Kamohiyoko, Mimizuku, ponds, green pond, dried persimmon. Both work in his later years. Are missing power, brush strokes are, but very natural.
Speaking of freedom, this place, four points more free, Kumagai Morikazu. Feudal lord frog, rabbit, cicada, Bellflower. Like, work like a child wrote.
For these works, the moment you try to talk something, the charm of his work go away immediately. What I do not need words. Nothing but, it is recommended to soak in the world.
In the meantime, finally, figure in front of the Kinoshita wildlife figure screen of Ito Jakuchu also getting low.
This work, was that before, it was seen in Chiba City Museum of Art. The guests sparse, there has been able to appreciate carefully.
About, it's reunion to be four years, but the surprise is not changed. Folding screen of the two parts & 6 frames. The folding screen on the right, is a large white elephant, the folding screen on the left, colorful phoenix, is depicted in the center, respectively, in the periphery, birds and many animals are depicted.
Is said to be, draw squares, unique approach required patience. Such as pop art, colors and eccentric.
4 years ago, they did not stick to the eye much, but representation of the distant view was also noticed that fine laborer is. Anyway, fine. It partitions to give a full-length portrait of painter so far, that Jakuchu, admire again.
It was exhibition named, cute, but it was an exhibition of painter who painted it, just, horror was impressed.

Kawaii（かわいい）日本美術展（山種美術館）
東京、広尾にある山種美術館で開催された、”かわいい”をテーマにした展覧会。子供や動物の愛らしい姿を描いた、多くの日本画（一部は洋画も）が展示された。
会場を訪れてまず驚いた。チケットを購入するのに、それほど長くはないが、列が出来ている。
この美術館が、以下の場所に移ってから、このような列に並んだのは初めてだ。係の人に聞いたら、伊藤若冲の樹下鳥獣図屏風目当ての来場者が多いからではないか、という。
さすが、若冲。
会場内も、これまで経験したことのないほどの混在。くだんの若冲の前には、長蛇の列ができている。しばらく、他の作品を鑑賞することにした。
私が大好きな、長沢蘆雪の作品は2点、展示。唐子遊び図と百鶴図。
唐子遊び図は、文字通り、中国人の多くの子供が、書画、琴、囲碁など、文人のたしなみといえる芸事を楽しんでいる図。子供らしく、あちらこちらでは、喧嘩が起こっているようだ。
百鶴図は、百匹までは行かないが、多くの鶴が、縦長の画面に描かれている。画面の上部には、山の向こうから、鶴の編隊がこちらに向かって飛んでいる
遠くから、近くに向けて、鶴がきれいに隊列を作っている様子を、蘆雪は細かい筆先で丹念に描いている。見方によっては、ぺらぺら漫画のように、あるいは、連続撮影された写真のように見えて、鶴が遠くから、だんだんとこちらの方に飛んでくるようにも見える。
蘆雪は、明らかにそうした効果を狙って、この図を描いている。先の、唐子遊び図も、多くの子供達の躍動的な様子は、静止しているはずの絵の中に、動きが感じられるようになっている。
川崎小虎の、ふるさとの夢。獅子舞芸の旅芸人の子供が、草むらで横になって寝ている。その周りには、子供が、夢の中でふるさとを回想し、その様々なシーンが、幻想的に描かれている。
何となく、シャガールの世界を連想させる、実に素晴らしい作品だ。
関山御鳥の、琉球子女図。4双の屏風に、5人の琉球子女が、紅型を着ている。背景は橙色だが、その上で、それぞれの赤、青、黄色などの少女の紅型が、模様と相まって、とにかく美しい。
この作品のテーマは、まさに色だ。
竹内栖鳳の魅力的な小品が、数点、展示されていた。鴨雛、みみづく、池に浮かぶカエルを描いた、緑池、干柿。いずれも、晩年の作品。力が抜けており、筆使いが、とても自然だ。
自由と言えば、こちらは、もっと自由な、熊谷守一の4点。とのさま蛙、うさぎ、蝉、ほたるぶくろ。まるで、子供が書いたような作品。
こうした作品について、何かを語ろうとした瞬間に、その作品の魅力はすぐに逃げていく。言葉は何もいらない。ただただ、その世界に浸るのがよい。
そうこうするうちに、ようやく、伊藤若冲の樹下鳥獣図屏風の前の人影も、少なくなってきた。
この作品は、以前、千葉市立美術館で見たことがあった。そちらは、お客はまばらで、じっくりと鑑賞することができた。
およそ、4年ぶりとなる再会だが、驚きは変わらない。6双2曲の屏風。右の屏風には、大きな白い象が、左の屏風には、多彩な鳳凰が、それぞれ中央に描かれ、その周囲に、多くの動物と鳥が描かれている。
枡目描き、といわれる、根気の必要な独特の手法。ポップアートのような、エキセントリックな色使い。
4年前は、あまり目につかなかったが、遠景の表現も、細かい工夫がされていることに気がついた。とにかく、細かい。ここまで描ききる、若冲という画家に、改めて感心することしきり。
かわいい、という名前の展覧会だったが、それを描いた画家達の、凄さ、ばかりが印象に残った展覧会だった。

磯崎新 都市ソラリス（NTTインターコミュニケーションセンター）
東京、新宿のオペラシティー内にある、NTTインターコミュニケーションセンターで開催された、磯崎新の業績を紹介する展覧会。
都市ソラリスとは、磯崎が、未来の都市を考える上で、『惑星ソラリス』を参考にしていることに、由来している。
磯崎新は、会場となっているオペラシティーの全体の設計者でもある。NTTインターコミュニケーションセンターのオープニングの企画展も、磯崎新をテーマにした内容だった。
会場を入ったすぐ左に、大きな都市の模型があった。これは、現在進行中の中国における龍湖地区副CBDのオフィスビルデザイン案。水の海の周りを、ぐるりと個性的なビルが並んでいる。
そのプランには、伝統的な「二十四節気」に基づいた暦や時間がデザインに組み入れられている。
模型のすぐ近くの壁には、磯崎新が手がけた、中国各地のプロジェクトの写真、設計図などの資料が展示されていた。
磯崎新が、中国で多くのプロジェクトを企画、実施していたことに驚く。
残りの展示は、会場の右半分の壁側に沿って、磯崎の過去のプロジェクトや作品を展示。
ジャクソン・ポロックのアクション・ペインティング、ジョン・ケージのチャンス・オペレーションなどに刺激を受けて制作されたインスタレーション。
様々なインフラストラクチャーによって実現された、大阪万博のお祭り広場。観客の人の多さや、反応などをセンサーに読み取って、照明や環境設備がインタラクティブに反応する、という画期的な取り組みだった。
磯崎は、その万博での経験を元に、コンピュータによって制御された、コントロールシステムによって支えられる都市、”見えない都市”を構想する。
東京新都市庁舎のコンペ案、マカオ沖に建築する海市＝ミラージュ・シティのプロジェクト計画。など。
この海市＝ミラージュ・シティは、1994年から1996年の間に実施されたプロジェクトで、NTTインターコミュニケーションセンターのオープニング企画展のテーマになった。
展示自体は、ドキュメントや写真が中心で、決して派手ではない。しかし、磯崎新という建築家の活動領域の広さに圧倒された、印象深い内容の展覧会だった。

Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions (Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography)
(Translated by Google Translate)
It is Tokyo, Ebisu, is held every year at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Ebisu Festival. This year's theme is "TRUE COLORS".
The well itself, and their claims, a person has been viewed as representing a feeling or, as an image of the traditional, the presence of color.
It seems the spirit of the theme about those colors, from the works of filmmakers around the world, once again, it's that, let's review.
The square of Ebisu Garden Place, was named after the Festival, called Xijing people, by the group of Japan, China and South Korea three Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Chen Xiao application, of Gimuhonsokku, and exhibit using the container.
Set in a virtual state, the Xijing country, I have parodied the institution of the state.
In this film festival, screenings and in the theater of video works, symposium, lecture's pay, but the exhibition is done using the first floor and basement 2 and 3 floor of the ground's that all free, and happy indeed.
Just a entered the venue of the third floor, there was red, like colorful bags, cloth, hardens.
Work called Pottari of Kimusuja Korean born. There seems to be a mean to Pottari, that, wrap in Korean, in Korea, and wrap the clothes in bed cover, or closed, and that move.
Next to the Pottari, Pottari is clogged like a mountain track, the track would continue to run the mountains, Cities on the Move - video work called 2727 KM Bottari Truck was flowing.
Not only South Korea, among Ethnic Clothing traditional around the world, crafts, things that uses a primary color bright colors blue and red, and yellow in many cases. I have turned and I think that many, its meaning.
Video work called sons of escalation Arthur Liu from Taiwan. In this exhibition, I, work that remains strong in the most heart.
Video work the author loses beloved daughter, were taken Holy Land Tibetan Buddhism, the state of the pilgrimage to Kailash mountain. Only minimal effect music flows, nothing but, video, indifferent, I'm reflecting the mountain road of Kailash mountain.
There is also a pure white snow-covered road, there is also a green earth, there is also a landscape that is desolate and rocky soil. Stitched Tibetan through unique, the clothing, the color of vivid is impressive, and beautiful.
It was taken from a low angle, the overwhelming landscape of the Kailash mountain, stop foot unintentionally, you've seen the full-length of approximately 15 minutes.
The Kola, in Tibetan Buddhism, refers to the pilgrimage. In going down the road of pilgrimage, what people would think.
Silent film at the end of Susan Hiller was born in the United States. Close to extinction or near extinction, already, work was screened without the video, the recording of the conversation of minority languages around the world. The screen is black, only subtitles Japanese translation, flowing through the bottom of the screen.
The venue, the graph of the frequency of the conversation of such words are also on display. Sound and that the graph obtained by converting it, in a variety of media, thought-provoking to what you see, the existence of a thing called words.
Even so, word of how much, born in this world, so far, would have disappeared. If you do not know it, words are not heard only a mere sound.
At the entrance of the hall on the second floor, Yuichiro Tamura is, exhibit ridge-end tile, Katie King was produced in projects in Awashima of the Seto Inland Sea.
This stems from the fact that out from the work accident, Tamura found on Awashima, called radio-meter William Crookes, to investigate the psychic research of Crookes, he met the ghost of a woman named Katie King.
The idea of ghost women of the 19th century, that, show up in this world again and become a ridge-end tile of a small island in the Seto Inland Sea in the 21st century is interesting.
Was born in Pakistan, Shajia-Shikanda showcased video work of animation using the technique of miniature painting in India, the last post. You are visualizing the impact of colonization of India by the British.
India governance of the United Kingdom, such as research materials and photos, just in approach-European, so to speak, we are informed. However, when expressed in the technique of miniature painting tradition of India, it, ambitious works How can that, I wonder become.
In the basement, work organization called Arctic Perspective Initiative is impressive.
The two persons named Matthew Biedermann Marco Perihan becomes the center, the theme of the fusion of art and science, this organization is trying to share the culture and the people living in the Arctic Circle, the wisdom of life.
Video taken aerial photographs of the Arctic Circle, the state of life, and instrumentation equipment of various types was exhibited.
Instead of that quirky, like foreboding daily activities becomes the work as it is, the way of art in the future, it was the exhibit memorable.
It is Tokyo, Ebisu, is held every year at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Ebisu Festival. This year's theme is "TRUE COLORS".

Instead of that quirky, like foreboding daily activities becomes the work as it is, the way of art in the future, it was the exhibit memorable.
TRUE COLORS 恵比寿映像祭（東京都写真美術館）
東京、恵比寿にある、東京都写真美術館で毎年開催される、恵比寿映像祭。今年のテーマは”TRUE COLORS”。
人は、色という存在を、そのものだけでなく、伝統のイメージとして、あるいは自らの主張や、気分を表すものとして捉えてきた。
そうした色について、世界中の映像作家の作品から、今一度、見直してみよう、というのが今回のテーマの趣旨のようだ。
恵比寿ガーデンプレイスの広場には、映像祭にちなんだ、西京人という、小沢剛、チェン・シャオション、ギムホンソックの日中韓3人のグループによる、コンテナを使った展示があった。
仮想の国家、西京国を舞台に、国家という制度をパロディ化している。
この映像祭では、映像作品の劇場での上映や、シンポジウム、レクチャーは有料だが、地上の2、3階と地下1階を使って行われる展示は全て無料というのが、実にうれしい。
3階の会場を入ってすぐのところに、赤い、色鮮やかな、布の袋のような、固まりがあった。
韓国生まれのキムスージャのポッタリという作品。ポッタリとは、韓国語で包む、という意味があるようで、韓国では、ベッドカバーで衣類などを包んで、しまったり、移動したりするという。
そのポッタリの横には、トラックにポッタリが山のように詰まれ、そのトラックが山間を走り続けるという、Cities on the Move - 2727 KM Bottari Truckという映像作品が流れていた。
韓国のみならず、世界中の伝統的な民族服、工芸品の中には、赤や青、黄色などの色鮮やかな原色を使った物が多い。その意味を、いろいろと思いを巡らしてしまった。
台湾出身のジョウシン・アーサー・リュウのコラという映像作品。私が、この展覧会で、最も心に強く残った作品。
作者が最愛の娘を失い、チベット教の聖地、カイラス山への巡礼の様子を撮影した映像作品。最小限の効果音楽だけが流れ、映像は、ただただ、淡々と、カイラス山の山道を映している。
真っ白な雪道もあり、緑の大地もあり、土や岩の荒涼とした風景もある。チベット経独特の、衣を縫い合わせた、その色の鮮やかが印象的で、美しい。
ローアングルから撮影された、カイラス山の圧倒的なその風景に、思わず足を止めて、およそ15分の全編を見てしまった。
コラとは、チベット仏教において、巡礼を意味する。巡礼の道行きにおいて、人は何を思うのだろう。
アメリカで生まれたスーザン・ヒラーの最後の無声映画。すでに絶滅、あるいはほぼ絶滅に近い、世界中の少数言語の会話の録音を、映像なしで上映した作品。画面は真っ黒で、日本語訳の字幕だけが、画面の下を流れている。
会場には、そうした言葉の会話の周波数のグラフも展示されている。音と、それを変換したグラフという、多様なメディアで、言葉、というものの存在を、見る物に考えさせる。
それにしても、これまで、どれだけの言葉が、この世に生まれ、消えてきたのだろう。言葉は、それを知らなければ、単なる音としか聞こえない。
2階の会場の入り口には、田村友一郎が、瀬戸内海の粟島でのプロジェクトで制作した鬼瓦、ケイティ・キングを展示。
これは、田村が偶然、粟島で見つけた、ウィリアム・クルックスのラジオ・メーターという作品から、クルックスの心霊研究を調べるうちに、ケイティ・キングという女性の幽霊に出会ったことに由来する。
19世紀の女性の幽霊が、21世紀の瀬戸内海の小さな島の鬼瓦となって再びこの世に姿を現す、というそのアイデアが面白い。
パキスタンで生まれた、シャジア・シカンダーは、インドの細密画の手法を使ったアニメーションの映像作品、ラストポストを展示。イギリスによるインドの植民地化の影響を映像化している。
イギリスのインド統治について、私たちは、写真や研究資料などの、いわばヨーロッパ的な手法でばかり、知らされている。しかし、それを、インド伝統の細密画の手法で表現すると、どうなるのだろうか、という野心的な作品。
地下1階では、アークティック・パースペクティヴ・イニシアティヴという団体の作品が印象的だった。
この団体は、マルコ・ペリハンとマシュー・ビーダーマンという二人の人物が中心になって、芸術と科学の融合をテーマに、北極圏において生活する人々の文化や、生活の知恵を共有しようとしている。
北極圏の航空写真、生活の様子を撮影した映像、各種の計測機器などが展示されていた。
突飛なことをするのではなく、日々の活動が、そのまま作品となる、これからの芸術のあり方を予感させるような、心に残る展示内容だった。

Masterworks of Japanese Paintings from The Cleveland Museum of Art (Tokyo National Museum)
(Translated by Google Translate)
Was held at the Tokyo National Museum Tokyo, Ueno, Cleveland Museum of Art of the United States to collection, exhibition of Japanese painting.
Muromachi period, ReiAkiraon'na diagram of Haru-ya Mune-en in the 16th century. The Tang era, while born into a wealthy family, touching on the idea of Zen, and that sent a life poverty, and depicts a woman legendary.
Take the vegetables themselves, and to hold extremely color to use, the bust of a woman has lowered the basket, highlighting the image of poverty.
Instead of the color, finely, use of the line, a carefully, I would amazed unintentionally. One of hair across the cheek, to one, he have drawn carefully.
Workshop Tawaraya Sotatsu, a sign of Inen, the god of thunder figure screen. By means of the brush of Sotatsu, Fujin Raijin figure screen is associative immediately, but here, only the god of thunder diagram. In addition, the face of the god of thunder, is depicted in face like a dragon. Possibly, probably was also god of the wind diagram paired.
Today, it is believed one of Kenchoji Temple is as definitive, but at that time, Fujin Raijin view of the various versions, might have been drawn by the studio of Sotatsu.
Watanabe Huashan drew, sky Takeshi Saemon image. Rare painting made by projecting the camera obscura, there was a height of 27 cm 2 m, the sumo wrestler of Okakae of Kumamoto clan, that, painted it.
Hell Dayu view of Kawanabe Kyosai. I depicts a courtesan of the Muromachi period as hell reflection of an unfortunate own, not draw a picture of hell in their own kimono, that was also a disciple of Ikkyu.
Kyosai depicts tones and blue, kimono bright colors, but when I look well well, what is drawn to the Seven Lucky Gods, it is not a hell picture. Stylish sense of Kyosai is good.
In this exhibition, not only in Japan painting, Chinese painting and I was exhibited several points. Matsutani view deer view of the far-horse of the Southern Song Dynasty. Yunshan picture book of the United States of the Southern Song Dynasty TomoHitoshi same. Both, many hours, even if you can see, are hidden richness.

クリーブランド美術館展 名画でたどる日本の美（東京国立博物館）
東京、上野の東京国立博物館で開催された、アメリカのクリーブランド美術館が収蔵する、日本絵画の展覧会。
室町時代、16世紀に春屋宗園の霊昭女図。唐時代に、裕福な家に生まれながら、禅の思想に触れて、清貧な生活を送ったという、伝説的な女性を描いている。
自ら野菜を採り、その籠を下げている女性の半身像を、使う色を極端に押さえて、清貧というイメージを強調している。
その色の代わりに、線の使い方が、細かく、丹念で、思わず目を見張ってしまう。頬にかかる髪の毛の一本、一本まで、丁寧に描いている。
俵屋宗達の工房、伊年の印のある、雷神図屏風。宗達の筆による、風神雷神図屏風がすぐに連想されるが、こちらは、雷神図のみ。しかも、その雷神の顔は、竜のような顔に描かれている。おそらくは、対になる風神図もあったのだろう。
今日では、建長寺のものが決定版のように思われているが、当時は、いろいろなバージョンの風神雷神図が、宗達の工房によって描かれたのだろう。
渡辺華山が描いた、大空武左衛門像。2メートル27センチの身長があったという、熊本藩のお抱えの関取を、カメラ・オブスキュラに映して、それを描いた、という珍しい絵。
河鍋暁斎の地獄大夫図。不幸な自分の反省を地獄として、自らの着物に地獄の絵を描かせ、一休の弟子でもあったという室町時代の遊女を描いている。
暁斎は、青を基調とした、色鮮やかな着物を描いているが、よくよく見ると、描かれているのは七福神で、地獄絵ではない。暁斎の粋なセンスがいい。
この展覧会には、日本絵画だけではなく、中国絵画も何点か展示された。南宋時代の馬遠の松渓観鹿図。同じく南宋の米友仁の雲山図鑑。いずれも、何時間見ていても、見飽きないほどの豊かさを秘めている。
曾我蕭白の蘭亭曲水図。王羲之の蘭亭序で有名な、蘭亭の曲水の宴を描いている。縦長の掛け軸に、遠景で、人物を豆粒のように描く、独特の蕭白の世界が炸裂している。
クリーブランド美術館の館長を務めた、シャーマン・リーは、日本を占領統治していた、GHQの美術部局の顧問として働いた経験を持っていた。
その際に、日本美術の調査に参加し、その経験を元に、この日本美術コレクションの核となっている多くの作品を収集したという。
その意味では、この展覧会に展示されたコレクションは、アメリカが日本を占領したことによる、一つの成果と言っていいだろう。

Pre-Raphaelities, Victorian Avant-Garde (Mori Arts Center Gallery)
(Translated by Google Translate)
Located in the Roppongi Hills Tokyo, Roppongi, was held at the Mori Arts Center Gallery, exhibition of Pre-Raphaelites.
For Tate Museum in London, England is under renovation, the museum is collection, representative works of the Pre-Raphaelites is exhibited, for the Pre-Raphaelites fan of Japan, it is like a miracle, with the exhibition of a dream were.
Subtitle of a dream, in the morning painting the UK Victoria is on. The dream painters Pre-Raphaelites have seen, and what sort heck?
Ophelia by John Everett Millais. Needless to say, the heroine of Shakespeare's Hamlet. The despair in Hamlet love, lost his sanity, Ophelia threw himself into the river. It depicts Ophelia that while having the flower in hand, will be influenced by the surface of the river.
Creek flowing through the green of the forest, in an ecstatic look, while in hand beautiful flowers, beautiful women, will shed. Nature, flowers, beautiful woman, the story of Shakespeare.
Perhaps, in the painters of the Pre-Raphaelites, speaking only that technology to draw a painting, Millais would have had the highest technology.
Named Pre-Raphaelite is derived from the fact that they, criticized the famous work called "Transfiguration of Christ" by Raphael. Raphael before, and that we should return to the art of the Renaissance before, so to speak, was a reactionary movement artistic.
Isou Uruwashi of William Morris. Use the model to Jane Baden wife, painted of Tristan and Isolde, Isolde the (Isou), easel paintings only of Morris.
The stage, however, in the room of the United Kingdom at the end of the 19th century. The wearing a dress of pale pink, the center of the screen, in front of the bed, with a look Isou was ovalbumin sorrow, and are petrified.
The Jane Baden, and also served as models of Rossetti, Morris, Rossetti, Jane, had a strange love triangle.
Such works to represent the concept of Pre-Raphaelite model to the beautiful women around us, that, draw in the landscape of the United Kingdom at the time, the romantic story of the Middle Ages.
Pieces of work watercolor of Edward Burne-Jones, and in 1560, Cydonia von Borg. Of works which depict women of one person in the novel.
Woman dressed to look like rope entangled, the dress of a strange pattern has looked back. Most of the screen, the dress is accounted for, and work jumped to design.
Beata Beatrix of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He drawn to the model wife who died young of their own, the Elizabeth Shidaru, the figure of Italian poet, the man of eternal Dante. A major work of the Pre-Raphaelite.
Similarly, of Rossetti, also, a major work of the Pre-Raphaelite, Puroserupina. In beautiful woman who appears in ancient Greek mythology, due she has already in the mouth pomegranate, you no longer must live in the world of two of the world celestial and terrestrial.
Rossetti depicts the model Jane Baden, that woman. I do not think no matter how you look at it, as have brought in the picture, the relationship between Jane, the wife and himself, of Morris.
Without knowing that episode, this picture is beautiful enough. However, once you know the background, you'll see the different things also, picture this.
Milly Morris, Rossetti, and Burne-Jones,. Strangely, all of them born in 1820,30's, passed away 1880,90's. Time you play an active part, was the second half of the 19th century.
Painters of the Pre-Raphaelite is hugging, they tried to draw, dream of the morning painting the UK Victoria. It appears in bright colors, as depicted in the figure of beautiful women, but, in fact, too, it is, might have had fleeting.

ラファエル前派展（森アーツセンターギャラリー）
東京、六本木の六本木ヒルズにある、森アーツセンターギャラリーで開催された、ラファエル前派の展覧会。
イギリス、ロンドンのテート美術館が改装中のため、同館が収蔵する、ラファエル前派の代表的な作品が展示され、日本のラファエル前派ファンにとっては、奇跡のような、夢の展覧会となった。
英国ヴィクトリア朝絵画の夢、という副題がついている。ラファエル前派の画家たちが見た夢とは、一体どんなものだったのか？
ジョン・エヴァレット・ミレイのオフィーリア。言わずと知れた、シェークスピアのハムレットのヒロイン。愛するハムレットに絶望し、正気をなくし、川に身を投げたオフィーリア。手に花を持ちながら、川面に流されていくオフィーリアを描いている。
森の緑の中を流れる小川に、美しい女性が、恍惚とした表情で、美しい花を手にしながら、流されていく。自然、花、美しい女性、シェークスピアの物語。
おそらく、ミレイは、ラファエル前派の画家たちの中で、絵画を描く技術ということだけで言えば、最も高い技術を持っていただろう。
ラファエロ前派という名前は、彼らが、ラファエロの『キリストの変容』という有名な作品を批判したことに由来している。ラファエロ以前、ルネサンス以前の芸術に戻るべきだという、いわば、芸術的な復古運動だった。
ウィリアム・モリスの麗しのイズー。妻のジェイン・バーデンをモデルに使い、トリスタンとイゾルデの、イゾルデ（イズー）を描いた、モリスの唯一のイーゼル絵画。
舞台はしかし、19世紀末のイギリスの部屋の中。薄いピンクのドレスをまとって、画面の中央、ベッドの前で、イズーが憂いをおぼた表情で、立ちすくんでいる。
ジェイン・バーデンは、ロセッティのモデルも務め、このモリス、ロセッティ、ジェインは、奇妙な三角関係を持っていた。
中世のロマンチックな物語を、身の回りの美しい女性をモデルに、当時のイギリスの風景の中に描く、というラファエロ前派のコンセプトを代表するような作品。
エドワード・バーン＝ジョーンズの水彩画の小品、シドニア・フォン・ボルグ 1560年、という作品。小説の中の一人の婦人を描いた作品。
ロープが絡み合ったような、不思議な柄のドレスを見にまとった女性が、後ろを振り返っている。画面のほとんどは、そのドレスが占めており、デザイン性に跳んだ作品。
ダンテ・ガブリエル・ロセッティのベアタ・ベアトリクス。イタリアの詩人、ダンテの永遠の人の姿を、自らの若くして亡くなった妻、エリザベス・シダルをモデルに描いている。ラファエロ前派を代表する作品。
同じく、ロセッティの、やはり、ラファエロ前派を代表する作品、プロセルピナ。古代ギリシャ神話に登場する美女で、ざくろを口にしてしまったせいで、天上と地上の世界の二つの世界で生きなければならなくなった。
ロセッティは、その女性を、ジェイン・バーデンをモデルに描いている。どう見ても、自分と、モリスの妻であるジェインとの関係を、絵の中に持ち込んでいるとして思えない。
そのエピソードを知らなくても、この絵は十分に美しい。しかし、その背景を知ってしまうと、この絵は、また違ったものに見えてくる。
ミレイ、ロセッティ、バーン＝ジョーンズ、そしてモリス。奇しくも、彼らは皆、1820、30年代に生まれ、1880、90年代に亡くなっている。活躍した時期は、19世紀の後半だった。
ラファエロ前派の画家たちが抱いて、描こうとした、英国ヴィクトリア朝絵画の夢。それは、鮮やかな色合いで、美しい女性たちの姿で描かれているように見えるが、実は、あまりにも、はかないものだったのかもしれない。

Seeking for Utopia (The museum of modern art, Kamakura & Hayama)

ユートピアを求めて（神奈川県立近代美術館 葉山）
相模湾を臨む、風光明媚な葉山の地にある、神奈川県立近代美術館 葉山。私が好きな、美術館の一つだ。
そこで、松本瑠樹コレクション ユートピアを求めて ポスターに見るロシア・アヴァンギャルドとソヴィエト・モダニズム、という名の展覧会が開催された。
松本瑠樹は、ファッションブランドのデザーナートして活躍したが、ポスターのコレクターとしても、世界的にその名が知られているという。そのコレクションから、ロシア革命前後のポスターが、およそ180点、展示された。
革命以前の1914年、画家のマレーヴィッチが絵を描き、詩人のマヤコフスキーが文章を書いた、反ドイツ色の強い、版画作品。ルボーク、というロシアの伝統的な素朴な版画の形式を使っている。
当時、ロシアはドイツを第1次世界大戦で戦っていた。ロシア革命以前から、ロシアのアーティストたちは、国家のプロパガンダを作成する、運命を担わされていたのか？その構図は、ロシア革命後も変わらない。
この展覧会の目玉とも言える、映画の宣伝ポスターの数々。
ロシア革命後、混乱する社会の中で、レーニンの共産党は、識字率の向上と、社会への不満のはけ口として、映画を活用することを計画し、映画産業を国有化して、積極的に全国で映画を公開した。
革命芸術家たちには、そうした国策の映画のポスターを作成する、というミッションが与えられた。
展示されていたポスターのほとんどは、ステンベルグ兄弟とニコライ・プルサコーフの作品。映画の内容を効果的に伝えるため、出演者のしぐさや表情、映画の中の一シーンを、大胆にデフォルメしている。
写真のポスターではなく、イラストレーションで書かれているのが、現在から見ると、実に新鮮に見える。
中には、アメリカのハリウッドの作品や、ヨーロッパの別の国の映画のポスターもある。当時のロシアには、全国の映画館で、公開するのに十分なロシア、ソ連製の映画は、まだ作成されていなかった。そこで、外国の映画も多数公開されていた。
社会主義を安定させるために、資本主義国の映画を公開する、という皮肉な状況。同じ時期に、映画だけではなく、革命政府は、農業の分野において、一部の市場原理を認めるネップという政策を行っていた。
最後のコーナーには、1927年の第一次五カ年計画後の、政治的なプロパガンダを意図したポスターの数々。石炭や鉄鋼の生産計画と実績の数値などが、わかりやすいように、効果的なグラフ、数字のフォントなどが使われている。
ロトチェンコによる、ロシア革命以前からの共産党の歴史を、写真や資料などをまとめ、シリーズ物として作成したポスターの連作が展示されていた。
文章で表現したら、何冊にもなってしまうロシア革命の歴史が、コンパクトにポスターにまとめらている。とてもわかりやすい。まとめて出版されたら、最良のロシア革命史の一つになることは、間違いないだろう。
どこかの出版社で、出してもらえないだろうか？
やがて、時代はスターリン時代を迎える。ロシア革命当初、芸術の面から革命を支えた、ロシア・アヴァンギャルド芸術家たちは、その多くが、やがて悲劇的な結末を迎えることになる。
マレーヴィッチは、一介の技師となり、具象的な絵画を描くごく普通の画家になった。マヤコフスキーは、1930年にピストル自殺を遂げた。
やがて、そのスターリンも死に、ソ連自体が、1991年に崩壊した。
残されたポスターの数々は、かつて存在し、世界中に大きな衝撃を与え、文字通り世界史を塗り替えた、ソ連という国の、複雑な歴史を、今に伝えている。

川瀬巴水 郷愁の日本風景展（千葉市美術館）
千葉駅からほど近い、千葉市美術館で開催された、川瀬巴水の版画の展覧会。版画、という形式の表現力の豊かさを、目の当たりに実感できる展覧会だった。
巴水は、明治16年に東京で生まれ、関東大震災や、太平洋戦争などを経て、昭和32年に亡くなるまで、日本全国の各地を訪ね、その風景を描いた。
版元の渡邊庄三郎は、その巴水の描いた、旅情が溢れる日本の風景を、最高の版画技術で、世界が認める版画作品に仕立て上げた。
とにかく、一枚一枚の、版画の見事さに目を奪われる。
夜の闇、しんしんと降り続ける雪、夕日や朝日の微妙な光、強い横風の中で斜めに降る雨など、絵画でも表現すこと自体が難しいテーマを、版画を使って、見事に表現している。
勿論、その元となる絵画の出来が悪ければ、いかの版画の技術が優れていても、完成品としての出来は半減する。
巴水の描く風景は、”古き良き日本”という誰もが持っているイメージを、そのまま、何のてらいもなく表現している。
そこには、北斎や広重の影響があり、明治維新後にもたらされた、西洋画の影響も見て取れる。
鹿児島の桜島を描いた版画。海の青、山裾の緑、そして山頂に照らす夕日の赤。そうした微妙な色の表現を、5枚9面の版木で表現している。
その5枚の版木も合わせて展示され、いかに刷り師の力量が、版画の完成度に影響を与えているかが、よくわかる。
残念ながら、巴水の作品の版木の多くは、関東大震災による火災によって、消失してしまう、残っている物は、ごくわずかだという。
巴水の版画は、太平洋戦争以前にも、アメリカで評判を得ていたという。
戦争が終わり、日本に駐在していたアメリカ兵の中は、帰国の土産に、巴水の版画を買い求める者が多かった。それは、巴水の絵、ということでなく、そこに描かれている風景が、いかにも日本的だったからだ。
川瀬巴水の版画を見てくると、それらの作品は、いわゆる”芸術家”としての個性が生み出したものではなく、絵師と刷り師の技術の賜物である、という思いを強くした。
この展覧会に展示された、およそ200枚ほどの作品の、どれかひとつを取り上げてみても、川瀬巴水、という名前を知らなかったとしても、そこに描かれている風景を、その版画自体を、何時間でも楽しめるに違いない。

The exhibition of Chavannes (Bunkamura the Museum)
(Translated by Google Translate)
In Bunkamura Museum of Art, Tokyo, Shibuya, the first time in Japan, exhibition of Dyuvis de Chavannes was performed.
The "myth of Arcadia World Population vis de Chavannes Chavannes exhibition of waterside", as lengthy, moreover, the title.
Born in Lyon, France in 1824, and lost his parents at an early age, Chavannes was aimed at the road to become a painter. Entered the studio of Delacroix, but soon, he studied painting under Thomas Couture.
Over time, it becomes the theme of old age, such as ancient Greece, a large painter now deal with work such as murals, representing France, who died in 1898. The life, most overlaps the history of France, 19th century.
And say Chavannes , also limited information , I did not know much about him. I saw in the past in the Musée d'Orsay exhibition , only about " the poor fisherman ".
Fishermen of one person looked like the Christ , in shabby clothes , he is praying on a small ship that seems to sink at any moment . The world of the mysterious silence , are impressive intensely.
However , unlike it , as symbolized by the word Arcadia , the world of Chavannes was able to meet at this exhibition , was the world gorgeous fantastic.
Work drawn on the canvas , the mural called " sacred forest Muse and our various art gathering " , that it is a masterpiece of Chavannes.
In a landscape reminiscent of the mythology of the ancient Greek world , and a person to symbolize the art , the work was painted goddesses . Architecture of ancient Greek style , such as the angel in the sky , are well represented , such an atmosphere.
And say mythology world , Gustave Moreau of the same era comes to mind , but , compared with the color strong Morrow , to express with intense color , use a color to soft pastel , Chavannes is a gentle world has created.
I prefer the view of the world , but Morrow , obviously , towards the world of Shavu~an is , would be nice to vogue.
Chavannes gave a big impact on the other painters.
If Mire imagine a picture of Vu~iyaru and Denis , it can be seen whether they had been influenced by how Chavannes . Van Gogh and Seurat also , that had been well studied a picture of Chavannes . The venue , Rodin created statues of the upper half of the body of Chavannes was on display.
In response to the significant impact to give a acquaintance of Shavu~an , Kuroda Seiki of Japan , but also indirectly Fujishima Takeji of the disciple , but had a major impact . In the works of mythical Shigeru Aoki , impact of Shavu~an that strong.
Painting drawn by Chavannes , have can not be romantic with classical also , to express in such words , the multi-faceted personality.
Literally , it is something that can not be expressed only with the painting world , of Chavannes.

シャヴァンヌ展 水辺のアルカディア（Bunkamura ザ・ミュージアム）
東京、渋谷のBunkamura ザ・ミュージアムで、日本で初めてとなる、ピュヴィス・ド・シャヴァンヌの展覧会が行われた。
題名は、”シャヴァンヌ展 水辺のアルカディア ピュヴィス・ド・シャヴァンヌの神話世界”と、長々として、しかも、ものものしい。
シャヴァンヌは、1824年にフランスのリヨンで生まれ、幼い頃に両親を亡くし、画家になる道を目指した。ドラクロワのアトリエに入ったが、すぐに、トマ・クチュールの元で絵画を学んだ。
やがて、古代ギリシャなど古い時代をテーマにした、壁画などの作品を手がけるようになり、フランスを代表する大画家となり、1898年に亡くなった。その生涯は、ほとんどが、19世紀のフランスの歴史に重なっている。
シャヴァンヌというと、寡聞にも、オルセー美術館展で過去に見た、”貧しき漁夫”くらいしか知らなかった。
キリストと思しき一人の漁夫が、みすぼらしい服装で、いまにも沈みそうな小さな船の上で祈りを捧げている。その不思議な静寂の世界が、強烈に印象に残っている。
しかし、この展覧会で出会うことができたシャヴァンヌの世界は、それとは異なり、アルカディアという言葉に象徴されるように、幻想的で華やかな世界だった。
”諸芸術とミューズたちが集う聖なる森”という、シャヴァンヌの最高傑作だという壁画を、キャンバスに描いた作品。
古代ギリシャの神話世界を思わせる風景の中に、芸術を象徴する人物と、女神たちが描かれた作品。古代ギリシャ様式の建築、空を飛ぶ天使などが、そうした雰囲気を、よく表している。
神話世界というと、同じ時代のギュスターブ・モローが思い浮かぶが、モローが強い色を使って、強烈な色調で表現するのに比べ、シャヴァンヌは、パステル調の柔らかに色を使い、穏やかな世界を作り出している。
私は、モローの世界観をより好むが、明らかに、シャヴァンの世界の方が、世間の受けはいいだろう。
シャヴァンヌは、他の画家へも大きな影響を与えた。
ドニやヴィヤールの絵を思い浮かべてみれば、いかに彼らがシャヴァンヌから影響を受けていたかがわかる。スーラやゴッホも、シャヴァンヌの絵をよく研究していたという。会場には、ロダンが作成した、シャヴァンヌの上半身の彫像が展示されていた。
日本の黒田清輝は、シャヴァンの知己を得て大きな影響を受けて、その弟子の藤島武二にも間接的だが、大きな影響を与えた。青木繁の神話的な作品にも、シャヴァンの影響が強いという。
シャヴァンヌの描く絵画は、古典派ともロマン派とも、そうした言葉では表現することのできない、多面的な性格を持っている。
文字通り、それは、シャヴァンの絵画世界、としか表現できないものだ。
