Special Exhibition "Beautiful Beauty-A Distinctive Art of Japanese Art-Sesshu, Nagatoku, Koetsu, Hokusai-"
Is being held. A preview for the media was held, so this time we will tell you how.
A "spinning project" that is being developed to spin the beauty of Japan, including royal items related to the Imperial Family, national treasures and important cultural properties, to a wide range of countries, and further to the future. At this exhibition, which will be held as a part of the exhibition, famous items such as Kano Nagatoku "Taraginshi Zukabutsu", a national treasure "Otoru Zukaru", and other famous works such as Sesshu, Ogata Koji and Katsushika Hokusai I will meet you in one place.
This exhibition, which will have more exhibitions than originally planned and will be held with full satisfaction, seems to be an attempt to be able to overlook the flow of Japanese art history, taking advantage of the Rewa Kaigen.
Exhibition scenery
The viewing sequence of the "Making a Beauty" exhibition is 5 special rooms → 4 rooms → 2 rooms → 1 room. At the beginning of the exhibition is a large work by Kano Eita
Kano Nagatoku writing "Tang gyoza-style screen" Azuchi Momoyama period · 16th century Miyauchi Government Sanonomaru Naokura
At the entrance of the special five rooms, displayed near the entrance of the exhibition hall, Kano Nagatoku "Tara Gyoza-style Screen" . It is Kano Nagatoku, who was established by the Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi era champions and led the stage of the period, but it is a particularly famous piece of the painting industry.
Eye power to squeeze the surroundings, brave body armor. I am overwhelmed at the beginning with its majestic striking power.
This work has an exceptional scale of about 2.2m in height and about 4.5m in width, but the top, bottom, left, and right are truncated, and it was originally larger, and it could be a barrier drawing to decorate the floor of the hall in the castle It also seems to have sex.

The biggest highlight of this exhibition is that four special items that can extend the art of Kano Eitoku gather in one venue.
This is a national treasure "檜 檜" , which is said to have brushed out in the last years.
This work is also a part of the barrier picture, and it is said to have been drawn to the palace for the Hachijo-miya family that Toyotomi Hideyoshi built.
A rough stem of a wolf that pushes the gold cloud. Branches and rocks drawn with a strong, speedy brush stroke. I feel that the momentum of the time was received as it was, when I received the love of the world's champions.

Two special rooms are on display, including a documentary showing the connection between Japanese culture and Waka, including the 11th century 'gen calendar school' during the Heian period. One of the most impressive impressions of this room is Hisayoshi Kusumi "Bon-no-zuru-buki" .
Under the fruit shelf of gourd, there are three parents and three at the same time, cool down in the evening. It cuts out the everyday scenes and there is a lack of power in the drawing lines, and it feels like some relaxed atmosphere.
I think that many people have seen this work in a textbook, but it is a national treasure.
Somehow, when I make such a work a "National Treasure", I feel the depth of the country of Japan, "Spirit".
It is a work with a refreshing sensation that you want to see and taste again and again in the coming hot season.

The "Ryubite Chikoshi", a masterpiece depicting Japanese-style dragons in a Japanese style of folding screens, while being based on Chinese elements.
While seemingly contrasting work, it is said that Yokoyama Taikan evaluated Japanese sense in Kuroda Kiyoteru and showed a favor.
Japanese Art and the West, Asia. It is a very important piece of work that reflects the traces of mutual relationships in modern times.
