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.
