(Translated by Google Translate)

It takes 20 to 30 minutes to go to Itabashi Art Museum from Takashimadaira Station Toei or Narimasu, or under Akatsuka of Tobu Tojo Line, both walk.

Near, remains of Akatsuka Castle medieval, also in Tokyo, and one of the best museums in the difficulty to go. It may become troublesome with nature, and to carry the foot.

However, to be sick, in this case, sometimes, interesting exhibition is carried out. Each time, it means you forgot to go, and regret.

This time, the exhibition of Kano brothers - Tanyu, Naonobu and Yasunobu, indeed, it did not go to the translation to miss this opportunity.

Upon grandson of Kano Eitoku, Kano Ttanyu became patronized painter of the Tokugawa family and down to Edo, brother of the two, Naonobu and Yasunobu also worked as a purveyor painter, from these three people, Kano of Edo four house was born, I went to play the center of the art world through the Edo period.

Kano Naonobu, brother of five-year-old younger than Tanyu. Following Tanyu, and communion from the mansion to the shogunate Takekawa town, was working as a painter patronized, but passed away at the young of 43 years old.

Kano Yasunobu is 11 years younger than Tanyu. Also Yasunobu, and communion in the mansion Nakahashi than shogunate, became a painter patronized.

In terms of the only work on display in this exhibition, I was like most, it was the work of Yasunobu.

Tanyu's Works are sharp in a nutshell. Like, it's impression that as it is still dragging, the atmosphere of the era of the Warring States period.

Style of painting is also a variety. And Nanga, painted carefully ink painting of landscape, Yamato-e, the animals, such as The Tale of Genji picture scroll, Buddhist paintings depicting the high priest and Buddha. In either case, a great workmanship, I show off respond to any order of those in power, the breadth of competence.

Works Naonobu, impression probably because near work, such as those referring to the picture of his brother apparently gave larger and year Sagukasoke, that are quite similar Tanyu was strong.

That he passed away at a young age might also factor had hindered the development of the world to own.

Among such, clever writing view of two twin six songs of the two, has seen a brush stroke dynamic world of its own Naonobu is depicted.

The work of Yasunobu, the difference between the Tanyu can be seen clearly. Compared to the sharpness of the Tanyu spacious, in a relaxed impression, to give a sense of security to the viewer.

Peony diagram is drawn is the pale pink petals. Among the exhibition room in a row is Byobu-ga, it seems that a short piece on, but its delicate brush tip, shade of petals, delicately beautiful.

This exhibition is carried out by dividing the previous fiscal year, to late, after all, it was decided that the Itabashi Art Museum had no opportunity to go too, to visit for two consecutive months usually.

Of course, there was more than enough to avail.
