“Records and memories of <Ueno> traced in the Tokyo collection”
Tokyo Metropolitan Collection Exhibition-Records and Memories of Ueno
Dates: November 17, 2021 (Wednesday) -January 6, 2022 (Thursday)
While it is popular as a cultural area where museums and zoos gather in and around Ueno Onshi Park, Ameyoko, where retail stores and restaurants are crowded, is also synonymous with the land called <Ueno>. From the past to the present, a wide variety of people have come and gone in this area, which has become the stage of various history, and many works and records on this subject have been produced.
In this exhibition, about 60 works and materials related to <Ueno> will be exhibited from the art collection held by Tokyo. Please rediscover the charm of <Ueno> that attracted the artists, and spend a time thinking about what happened here and the people who existed here. When you leave the museum, a different landscape may spread in front of you.
◆ The highlight of the exhibition
1 Modern <Ueno> recorded and handed down in prints
Recorded and conveyed through the media of prints, such as ukiyo-e prints that capture historical events such as the Boshin War and the domestic business expo in the Meiji era, Kazuma Oda’s stone prints, Koshiro Onchi, Unichi Hiratsuka, and Shizuo Fujimori. You will follow the appearance of the modern “Ueno” that was created.
2 Pre-war and post-war <Ueno> recorded and drawn by various artists
Pre-war and post-war <Ueno> photographed by Kineo Kuwabara, Hiroshi Hamaya, Ihei Kimura, Tadahiko Hayashi and others. After the end of the war, the figure of people sleeping in the underpass of Ueno Station drawn by the painter Teruo Sato. In addition, through photographic works by Tomoko Yoneda on the subject of prewar and wartime intelligence activities, we will reconsider the disappearing memories of “War and <Ueno>”.
