Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum
Prior to the opening, official supporter Jun Kaname visited the event, "I was overwhelmed by the power of the work I was looking forward to."
On July 23rd (Sat), the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum opened the "Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Exhibition: Art and Power".
This exhibition, which will be held two years after the original schedule, introduces about 60 works created in various regions such as Egypt, Europe, India, China, and Japan.
In addition, Kibi Minister Illustrated Tang Dynasty Scroll, which is said to be a national treasure in Japan, and Heiji Monogatari Emaki Sanjoden Night Raid Scroll, will return to their homes for the first time in about 10 years for this exhibition, and will be exhibited together. In addition, “Peacock”, a representative work by Sessai Masuyama, who was the lord of the Nagashima Domain in Ise during the Edo period, will be exhibited for the first time in Japan after being restored for this exhibition.
Prior to the opening, actor Jun Kaname, an official supporter, visited and appreciated the exhibition.
・《Illustrated scroll of Kibi Minister entering China》
Mr. Kaname, who slowly enjoyed the four picture scrolls, said, "The color balance is really good," and there was also a scene where he brought his face closer to the case and peered into it with great interest. "It's powerful, and the details that can't be conveyed in a photograph are amazing. Not one person in the drawing has the same expression. I can feel the talent of the person who drew the work," he said. In the Go scene (the scene where he swallows Go stones and cheats), he seems to laugh at the comical depiction.
・Sessai Masuyama 《Peacock》
The moment he saw the work, he said, "Wow, this is amazing. It's completely different from the photo. The wings are so fine. It's really amazing."
“Personally, I was most looking forward to this work, but when I actually saw it, I was overwhelmed by its power. It's full of."
