(Translated by Google Translate)

It is in the Omotesando, the day I visited the Nezu Institute of Fine Arts, daytime temperatures exceed 33 degrees, it was a hot day.

The name of the exhibition that had been made ​​by the Nezu Museum, cool breeze tribute.

And waterfalls that wind cool, spray like mist rises, and ink painting to forget the heat, pottery of a similar pattern, had been exhibited.

Red wall figure screen Nagasawa Rosetsu. 1 large piece of double-six songs. On the left side, person before boarding the ship is drawn, on the right, before the red wall of the attractions, people who were aboard the ship, are relaxing.

In carrying paint this subject, Rosetsu is, probably was in reference are in the collections of the Palace Museum is now, the red wall diagram of Bu Gencyoku.

To intimidate those who approach there, Red Cliff of Bu Gencyoku is riverside bristles vertically. Indeed a fine brush strokes, Bu Gencyoku has expressed its majestic scenery.

The Red Cliff of Rosetsu, ferocious wind has swept around, quay of Red Cliff also, seems to undulate in the wind.

Representation of trees likely to be blown away in the wind is also unique, and are drawn as to the next "eye" of Chinese characters, the part of the branch. Indeed, modern expression.

I was able to only enjoy the red walls of this Rosetsu, forget the heat enough.

A small exhibition room on the first floor, the Goryeo-Joseon Dynasty, Buddhist paintings drawn on the 14 to 16 century has been exhibited about 10 points.

Usually, Buddhist paintings of the Goryeo and Korea there is no opportunity to see much, was interesting indeed.

Work and the time of the Kamakura period of Japan, three Mikoto Amitabha, and Ksitigarbha is very similar.

On the other hand, Buddhist paintings of gold thread was drawn at the beginning of the scriptures of the Lotus Sutra, than such works the same in Japan, obviously, is with lots of gold, screen fill up, was Kinkirakin.
