The Ueno Royal Museum
Under the theme of “everyday, everyday life”, I would like to see it at this time of the year.
A work that touches the heart is picked up from the works of The Ueno Royal Museum!
Our consciousness and society are fundamentally changing due to the infection problem of the new coronavirus, which started in earnest in Japan this February. Under the subsequent declaration of an emergency, restrictions on behavior that were unthinkable until now–requiring to stay as close to people as possible, not to meet, not to meet, not to go out or to go out, and to spend more time at home Now, we have to reconsider the everyday life that everyone used to take for granted.
The Ueno Royal Museum holds a number of winning works from The Ueno Royal Museum Grand Prize Exhibition, which has been held 38 times since 1983.
This time, from this, I would like to see the theme of “everyday, everyday life”
I chose about 80 works I thought.
We make up a group of things that make us feel bright and happy, calm everyday scenes, towns and natures that are always there, and unique imaginations and thoughts from familiar people and landscapes. ..
At the venue, about 40 items from the <diary> series in which print artist Tetsuya Noda recorded family and everyday fragments from the same collection, and works created with Sayaka Akiyama as the subject of Ueno Park will be exhibited. ..
In the simple and straightforward gaze for the everyday life that artists are familiar with, I suppose we can find something important that touches our hearts today.

Kaho Kasuga 「It’s miserable and delicious.」
Oil F100 2020
The feeling of guilt and disgust for greed, as well as the exhilarating refreshing feeling that exists at the same time, have an impact with a photographically extreme three-point perspective. A scene that makes you feel lonely, a bold cut that makes you grasp it and a cool depiction give a strong impression.
Sanae Fujiwara 「Picnic」
Japanese painting F100 2020
It depicts a fun time out with the family.
It seems that the busy time is still continuing, with the dented feeling that people who have been there up to now standing up.
Bright colors with a sense of rhythm excite me.
Mika Chiba 「Mysterious」
Oil F100 2017
It successfully captures the effect created by the irregular reflection of the light entering the water surface.
Most of the woman’s body is in clear water, and the delicate light expresses the feeling of coolness and floating.
Akihiro Togashi 「FORM, Little Bird」
Acrylic, water-based paint, etc. S100 2000
A large tree-like object is drawn in the center, and animals and birds are drawn around it. There are a variety of materials and techniques, and I use a free technique to sew cloth on the screen, use buttons and paint, and create a flexible screen.

Under the theme of “everyday, everyday life”, this exhibition features Tetsuya Noda, one of Japan’s leading printmakers,’diary’ series.
The <Diary> series, which deals with the scenery around us and our family, is Noda’s life work that continues from 1968 to the present. In this exhibition, about 40 points are divided into about 40 points from the works of the 1970s and 1980s owned by this museum. Will be on display.
Based on photographs taken by himself, woodcuts, silk screens, and other works that create images of families, vegetables and fruits, shopping bags, sofas, views from the car window, and other things that make you imagine your daily life and events. It is spelled out plainly.
While sticking to the extremely personal subject of the writer’s own daily life, they may have the universality that anyone can share only in the “nothing, everywhere” scene.
