January 16 – February 24, 2019 Special exhibition of the Tokyo National Museum “Nomi Shin Sang Wang Yuyui beyond a masterpiece” held

The Tokyo National Museum Heisei Koen (Ueno Park) will hold a special exhibition, "A masterpiece beyond Mr. Wang Ziyan", from January 16 (Wednesday) to February 24 (Sun) in 2019 next year.
Since I participated in a press release held on Thursday, July 26, I will tell you how it is.

What is Face Shinji (literature)

Madam Shin (709 – 785) is born in a name family home to Chinese teacher training and writing in the Shandong province of China. At the age of 26 (734), which was under the reign of Emperor Xuanjong in Tang, he will serve four emperors as a bureaucrat after 26 years of age as a bureaucrat. In Tenbu 14 (755), upon the outbreak of Anshi Madam Shin and his family raised a soldier and save the crisis of the Tang dynasty.

Face Makoto When the rebellion is attempted again by Lee Rinao in the fourth year of construction (783) of 75 years old, Mr. Shin Megumi went to the enemy territory while knowing as the strategy of the prime minister's Roh mori (flower), and was caught It was murdered in Longing temple of Cai Zhou (Henan Province). Madam Shin will be honored as Tadashi Tadashi martial later.

Highlight of the exhibition

1. Thorough analysis of the beauty of the script!

Official fonts in China have evolved from books to letters and scripts due to practical demands and changes in aesthetic sense. The scripts appeared in the middle of the 3rd century, after the Higashin Jin period (317 – 420) where Wen Yongyun (303 – 361) was active, in the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907), Shaiannan, Tang 's three major houses have completed the typewriter' s typology.

Her face Makoto creates its own writing method which is referred to as facial method while inheriting Wang Feng Yi and the tradition of the three major houses.

In this exhibition, we will exhibit a variety of varieties such as Takamoto, a precious Tang Dynasty's handwritten brushwork and analyze its beauty.

2. Appeal to the attraction of the theatrical track "The Buddhist priest draft (Sutetsu Bunko)"! !

Atsushi Tomita, who explained the highlight of this exhibition · Director of the Tokyo National Museum of Arts and Planning

In the year 755, Azumiya 's turbulence caused the Tang Dynasty to fall into crisis, but Mr. Shin Sakamoto, who was a bureaucrat, contributes to the rebellion of the turbulence by raising a righteous soldier. However, the crown of his cousin and his youngest son Miki Miyuki (deaf) are deathless.

This "priest's paper draft" is a draft of the sentence that faces Saikiaki, which can be seen everywhere after correction and filling.

This work that can be taken as it is with the brush as it is written as it is written has been protected by the emperors of the past as the highest peak of the book.

This book that felt its passion more vividly because it is a handwriting is the first public release in Japan this time. Do not miss this precious opportunity.

3. Trace the collapse of Wang Myung Myth! !

The 2nd Emperor of the Tang dynasty Taejong highly valued Wang Yunyu's book, spreading Wang Shunyu's style of writing by allowing many calligraphers to take a takemoto and a written text.

On the boundary of Ahn's turbulence, a new style of writing that a calligrapher expresses feelings frankly with a brush is born and developed, not being caught by the tradition that originated to Wang Yunyi.

Although the style is handed down also during Song Dynasty, from the idea of ​​"the person is a man", the evaluation of the book will be enhanced along with the human nature of Mr. Shin Sakamoto who made a loyalty to the Tang dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, letters of bronze ware and stone monuments will be learned rather than Wang Shunyu's writing method which does not have traces, and Wang Shihui mythology, which has been inherited all the time, collapses, creating a striking style of writing.

This exhibition will follow the process and examine how the books of the Tang Dynasty influence posterity and Japan.


Although it is a "face-of-the-niece draft" of the face Makoto who attracts a great deal of attention as Japan's first public release this time, the turbulence of Anshi that triggered the writing is an important turning point for the calligraphy world.

I think that you can enjoy and enjoy this exhibition even more by reviewing the history.

Special exhibition "A masterpiece beyond the face Makoto Wang Yuyu" is held from Wednesday, January 16, 2019. looking forward to!
