Composition of each chapter and featured works by the editorial department
Chapter 1 Early Ukiyo-e
The early Ukiyo-e prints started with the “Sumizuri-e”, which is a black-and-white plate from the Enpo era (1673-81).
After that, “Tan-e” (tane), which was colored by brushing sumi-suri mainly on red, “red” (red) instead of red, “red-painted” (black), black By mixing glue on the part, a glossy “lacquer picture” was created.
Around the Enkai period (1744-48), plate coloring with red and green color plates was performed, and it was named “Benizuri-e” (Benizurie). Establish
In the first chapter, the works of painters from the early days of Ukiyo-e, Hishikawa Morinobu, Kagetsudo school, Masanobu Okumura, Kiyonobu Torii and Kiyobe are exhibited.
[Editor’s Featured Works]
● Hishikawa Moronobu “Young people and daughters”
This is a work by Morinobu Hishikawa, the founder of Ukiyo-e prints, depicting men and women who nestle by the partition.
The simple line drawn in a frame like arabesque and the yellow and red colors painted on the line draws attention.
● Kaigetsudo Toshige “Standing Beauty”
This is a work by Kagetsuge Toshige, who is said to have the largest number of prints among the Ketsugetsu school that mainly draws hand-painted drawings.
I draw a full screen of a woman standing in front of a kimono.
The dignified appearance of a woman is truly a standing beauty.
●Toshinobu Okumura “Oshichi and Yoshizo”
It is a work depicting the story of Ochichi and Kichisaburo, who was adapted to Joruri and Kabuki.
It captures the appearance of a greengrocer Oshichi handing a love letter t o Yoshisaburo
It is famous that the second character Sanjo Kantaro played the role of Seven in order to improve Kiyosaburo Arashi, and in subsequent performances, the seventh character came to use Kisaburo Arashi’s standard pattern.
Yoshisaburo of this work can see the crest of the second generation Nanasaburo Nakamura in the costume, but he could not find the Kyogen that Nansaburo played Kisaburo at that time.
Chapter 2 The birth of Nishiki-e
Around 1765, a multicolored print was born and was called “Azuma Nishikie” in the sense of a beautiful Edo-like painting.
In the second chapter, works by Harunobu Suzuki, Ryusai Isoda, Ippushisai Buncho, and Haruaki Katsukawa, which were most active in the era of Nishiki-e, were exhibited.
[Editor’s Featured Works]
●Harunobu Suzuki “Eight Scenes of the Furyu”
This work is associated with the traditional Chinese landscape painting title, Shosho Hakkei.
It depicts a scene from the story of the “potted tree,” which is associated with eight songs.
It’s just a broom that wipes off the snow on the roof, but its appearance is elegant and has an atmosphere.
● Haruaki Katsukawa “The first generation Nakamura Nakazo Ota Kotota 3rd generation Koji Otani Chuta Banba”
A scene from Nakamuraza’s “Omezome Soga Hinagata”
It is depicted that two of the first generation Nakamura Nakazo, Kota Omi, and the third generation Koji Otani, Tadashi Banba, make a dark match.
The heat of the actors who perform with a screaming expression is transmitted to the skin.
Chapter 3 Development of Bijin-ga and actor paintings
During the Tenmei period (1781 to 89), Kiyocho Torii created a graceful and tall beauty painting style and produced many group images.
During the Kansei period (1780-1801), Kitagawa Utamaro drew women of various levels.
Tohsusai Sharaku is a painter who has suddenly disappeared within just one year from May 1794 (Kansei 6), but is internationally acclaimed.
In the third chapter, works by Kiyocho Torii, Utamaro Kitagawa, Sharaku Tosusai and Toyokuni Utagawa are exhibited.
[Editor’s Featured Works]
● Kiyonaga Torii “Yusuzumi Okawabata”
This work depicts women who enjoy the cool breeze at the riverside.
This is the first exhibition in 40 years.
Summer in Edo begins at the river opening on May 28th.
What do you see in front of the sight of enjoying the summer with a teahouse girl with a tea cup on the left, a woman with a fan in the center, and women with one foot on the right?
*The downstream of the Sumida River was known as Okawa at that time.
●Utamaro Kitagawa “Five beautiful women love and respect competition Matsubaya Kisegawa”
The Five-Person Beauty Love Race is a collection of all five figures depicting a beautiful woman who is famous in Edo.
You will be fascinated by the beautiful Edo beauty who is well-established.
The suppleness of the fingers of a woman with her hand on her chin is also impressive.
● Tosusai Sharaku “Hangoro Sakata’s third generation Mizuemon Fujikawa”
This is one of the series in which the third generation Sakata Hangoro played the role of the thirteenth anniversary of sacrifice and the third generation Sakata Hangoro played Fujikawa Mizuemon.
The mouth of Fujikawa Mizuemon, the eyes that open up, and the arms with raised blood vessels are exactly the appearance of the enemy.
● Toyokuni Utagawa “Konoshita Tokichi of the third generation Ichikawa Yaozo”
This is a work that is said to have been portrayed by Tokichi Konoshita in the “Kaien Festival Religion” written by Yazo Ichikawa, the third generation, in 1796.
The Kien Festival Religion is a story of Tokichi Konoshita’s success in confronting the villain Daizen Matsunaga.
The eye power of Yaozo Ichikawa, the third generation of this painting, is overwhelming.
From that eye, you can feel an unusual will
Chapter 4 Diversifying expressions
When entering the culture and Bunsei period (1804-30), Nishiki-e, which had a rough atmosphere, became more detailed and the amount of information drawn on the screen increased.
In the fourth chapter, the works of Kunikawa Utagawa Kunisada (later named Utagawa Toyokuni) and other works by Hideki Kikukawa are exhibited.
[Editor’s Featured Works]
● Eizan Kikukawa “Higashi Sugata Genji Koyoga”
In one of the assortment comprising a combination of the bust of Genji Karuta and women, it is a work depicting a daughter to read the booklet in the light of the row lights.
I was impressed by the serious expression of a woman who leaned her head and read the booklet diligently to illuminate the page.
It feels like the red of the book, the barrette and the red of the kimono are in harmony.
●Kunisada Utagawa “Komo Oil Painting, Eitai Bridge”
It is a collection of landscape paintings drawn in Western style, and among the known ones, there are five figures, “Komo oil painting style” and “Komo oil painting famous spot”, respectively, totaling 10 figures.
This work features Nagadaibashi, the fourth bridge built in the Sumida River.
A houseboat is gracefully crossing the Eidai Bridge.
Chapter 5 World of Nature and Storytelling
Around the early Tenpo period (183-33), the “Thirty-six Views of Tomitake” series, which includes “Ukiyoe prints” by Katsushika Hokusai and “Kamikawa Oki Nanura”, will be published.
In the 4th to 5th years of the Tempo (1833-34), Hiroshige Utagawa’s masterpiece, Tokaido Gotoku Miyoshinouchi, was also produced.
In Chapter 5, works by Hokusai Katsushika, Hiroshige Utagawa, and Kuniyoshi Utagawa are exhibited.
[Editor’s Featured Works]
●Hokusai Katsushika “Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji Gaifukaisei”
Tomi bamboo thirty Rokukei is, by changing the location overlooking the Japan of the name Peak Fuji, is painted works.
Fuji in this work is said to have captured the northern side of Fuji from near Lake Kawaguchi.
A total of 46 figures have been produced, and the image of Hokusai Fuji will be spread throughout the world.
My heart quivers as red Mt. Fuji penetrates the sardines and rises.
You will want to see all 46 figures and compare.
● Hiroshige Utagawa “Tokaido Gojyusantugi Mitsunouchi Hakone Lake Map”
Tokaido Gotoku Sanninouchi is a collection of masterpieces by Utagawa Hiroshige.
Consisting of 55 figures, the scenery of the journey is depicted lyrically, and the scene that changes with the season, time, and weather is expressed with a sense of reality.
This work depicts Hakone-juku, which was located between Odawara-juku and Mishima-juku, and the steep mountain path was one of the difficult points on the Tokaido.
The colors of the yellow, brown and blue mountains are colorful.
If you look at the Daimyo procession covered with a shade as you walk in the foreground, you can see the steep mountain path.
Would you like to see Mt. Fuji in the distance and rest a little?
●Kuniyoshi Utagawa “It looks scary but nice”
It’s a puzzle-like caricature that gathers many humans and forms the half-length figure of one human.
I laugh at the faces and postures of each person.
The gap between the scary face and the facial expressions of the body parts is interesting.

The souls of the free artists approach the heart. 【The University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts】”Art as it is-people who continue to express without knowing-” preview report
The University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts
From Thursday, July 23, 2020 to Sunday, September 6, 2020, a special exhibition “Art as it is- people who continue to express without knowledge” is being held at the Museum of Art, Tokyo University of the Arts. The other day, a media preview was held, so I will tell you about it.
“Arugama” works full of humanity
It is not the so-called “professional” works that are exhibited in the special exhibition “Art as it is- people who continue to express without knowing it”.
Collected here are works of artists, who are known as “outsider art” from the world, regardless of existing arts, education, and disabilities, and who continue to pursue their own unique world. The activities of these so-called “self-study” artists have had a great impact on the art world in the early 20th century, and even today, their value and importance are emphasized and widely accepted by society.
In this exhibition, in collaboration with the documentary program “no art, no life” being broadcast on NHK/E-Television, the world of “Aru ga Mama” art, which continues to attract worldwide attention, has recently attracted attention both in Japan and overseas Introducing about 200 works by 25 artists.
First attempt at the exhibition! “Watch robot” online
It’s a “first in Japan” trial. In this exhibition, as an original project of Tokyo University of the Arts and NHK, an online robot appreciation meeting is realized by utilizing an autonomous driving robot that can be remotely controlled via the Internet. At the preview, the exhibition was performed, and the works exhibited by the “robot director” were also explained.
The robot uses a 3D sensor to grasp the surrounding environment and find the optimal route to reach the destination. You can also freely communicate with visitors through the monitor. When I saw the visitors and the robots walking side by side and enjoying the atmosphere, I was deeply moved by saying, “Oh, a new era has arrived…”.
It seems that the Robo appreciation party is a reservation system, so you can watch it on the day by registering by selecting the desired date and time in advance and accessing the delivered URL. For details, please see the special content site .
Exhibitor introduction
Marie Suzuki (Marie Suzuki)
Marie Suzuki said he developed schizophrenia in high school. Currently, while going to a local company and local activity support center, he continues to draw.
Plump female body, scissors, genitals… These motifs appear repeatedly in her paintings, creating a “magical” view of the world. In particular, scissors are a motif that “calms down when you draw.”
At the beginning, it seems that it was an illustration style like a leaflet or poster, but gradually it seems that he began to draw pictures that expose himself inside using simple tools such as magic and paper. ..
Norimitsu Kokubo
“I want to make everything in this world myself”
With such a strong desire, Mr. Norimitsu Kokubo takes brushes every day and continues to draw. The masterpiece, which has a width of 10 meters and is on display at the venue, started drawing at the age of 17 and was completed after about 5 years.
Railroad tracks running through the city, shopping malls, amusement parks… The campus has a bird’s-eye view of the cityscape, but Mr. Kokubo gathered information gathered through memory and Internet searches to create a fantasy city that does not exist anywhere. This is just a masterpiece.
As you proceeded from the right side of the campus, you can see that the motif and touch gradually change like a gradation as you move to the left.
Kenji Kawakami
Kenji Kawakami, who uses “things that bring strong emotions to me as a motif” . The work makes us feel a dense “story” and “passion” behind the boy who was bullying herself as a child, and the cat who left behind while feeling remorse.
Although the artist’s appearance and the state of his creation are displayed on the monitor in the venue, Mr. Kawakami laughs and cries loudly, which is exactly the “genuine spirit” itself. Its powerful brushstrokes and touches convey pure, unfamiliar energy.
Sometimes I draw a horrifying scene with thrilling, but the style is somewhat warm. If Taro Okamoto was alive, he would have praised him… I can imagine that.

From July 23, 2020 (Thursday/holiday), the exhibition “Innocent Day Banzai!” will be held at The Ueno Royal Museum . (Until Sunday, August 30)
There was a press preview of this exhibition the other day.
In this article, we will introduce the exhibition, its composition and the editorial department’s featured works.
See it!
About “Innocent Day Banzai!”
The Ueno no Mori Art Museum holds many winning works from the Ueno no Mori Art Museum Grand Prize Exhibition, which has been held 38 times since 1983.
With the theme of “nothing, everyday life that is everywhere”, this exhibition “Nanything Day Banzai!” is a period of coronal blight and various restrictions are imposed on our actions. About 80 works will be exhibited.
In addition, about 40 works from the 1970s to the 1980s of the <diary> series, in which the woodblock artist Tetsuya Noda recorded his family and everyday life, were also exhibited from the collections of the Ueno Mori Art Museum, divided into the first and second halves. In addition, the works created with Sayaka Akiyama as the subject of Ueno Park will also be exhibited.
( Official website “Nothing’s a day!”: http://www.ueno-mori.org/specials/2020/nandemonaihi/ )
The exhibition structure and the editorial department’s featured works are introduced.
The exhibition is composed of five chapters, and the theme and perspective of the work gradually expand from the inner side to the outer side, from familiar objects to more distant objects.
Chapter 1 “In everyday life”
The theme of the exhibition, “Nothing, everyday life everywhere”, such as everyday “core, the house and the room, scenes around us, works depicting ourselves and close people” It is a representative image group.
☆Yoshitaka Fujii “Bouquet”
A woman who looks straight at her with a strong look.
You will be drawn to that expression in an instant.
The bright blue color of the dress and shoes seems to symbolize the strength of the woman’s core.
☆ Yohei YaJIima “Plastic Girl”
A pink girl doll leaning against the wall.
It looks like you’re in deep trouble.
If you look closely, the wall has a picture of a man holding a dog or cat.
In fact, do you express your desire to love your father?
Chapter 2 “From everyday to painting”
Everyday is also the entrance to the world of painting.
Rather than just drawing things that are familiar to us everyday, we refer to various styles of paintings from ancient and modern times and the methods of our predecessors, or stylized by demonstrating our own imagination. The chapters are complete.
☆ Kyuma Harada “The Whereabouts of Japan II”
A man wearing a cloth on his face.
The feet are shattered.
Are you worried about Japan’s future?
The title “The Whereabouts of Japan” makes me surprised.
☆ Takeshi Inoue “Kizashi”
A large fish jumping out of a snail shell and a shrimp-like creature sucked into the shell.
The surface of the water is swirling.
Where will the whirlpool grow bigger and bigger?
Chapter 3 “Animal”
What do animals in modern society mean to humans?
For city dwellers, there are pets kept at home or animals surrounded by zoos.
Chapter 3 introduces animals that have been expressed as important entities that reflect people’s emotions.
☆ Mirei Omura “Ma”
A big tree and a bird standing near it.
It looks as if the mythical tree is shining brightly, and the bird is spreading its wings like a peacock.
I would like to see what it looks like when viewed in the dim light.
Chapter 4 “Landscape”
In Chapter 4, the exhibition will focus on distant landscapes and bird’s-eye views, which are wider than the reachable landscapes such as indoors introduced in Chapter 1.
From the symbolic buildings of the city to the flow of water, the movement of clouds, and the landscapes that are essential to our lives are depicted here.
☆ Risa Kure “Asakusa”
Everybody knows the scenery of Asakusa along with flowers that symbolize the changing seasons.
In the refreshing colors, it seems that there is also fragility.
☆ Motegi Mana “Constellation-Scenery from the window-“
A work depicting a night view that spreads out of the window.
A variety of lights intersect to give off a dazzling light and speak lively.
When you look at each light, it is strange that the brightness is slightly different.
Chapter 5 “Expanding Imagination”
No matter how small or limited our daily lives are, we can use our imagination to supplement our physical constraints.
In the fifth chapter, the painters will exhibit works that try to connect different things in the painting, introduce different time and space, and create a world far wider and deeper than the reality in front of us.
☆ Moe Aoki “Emotional Awakening”
Flowers, like butterflies, are born of flowers planted in vases.
Is it because you can feel the rich colors even though it is almost a monochrome work?
Red, which is placed here and there, is also effective.
[Special Exhibition] Tetsuya Noda Prints <diary> series
☆ Tetsuya Noda “Diary August 10, 1979”
A work by Tetsuya Noda, whose subject was his young son.
The expression that opens this wide open mouth and faces this is very humorous.
If you look closely, the calculation formula is written on the face.
This formula makes the work even more pop.
※Special feature exhibits may be replaced.
First semester: July 23 (Thurs./holiday) to August 10 (Mon./holiday)
Second semester: Wednesday, August 12-Sunday, August 30
Summary
I have been informed about the exhibition “Urban Day!” held at the Ueno Royal Museum.
All the works under the theme of “everyday, everyday life” that were exhibited were all worrisome.
In addition to the works introduced here, wonderful works are on display, so why don’t you visit the Ueno Royal Museum and check it out?
And after touching the work, you will be able to appreciate the importance of everyday life.
Enjoying works at the museum, taking a walk in Ueno Park, and laughing with family and friends.
What is nothing special is that it is shining so brightly.
* At the venue, as a measure against the new coronavirus, we are requesting temperature measurement and finger disinfection.

■ Artist introduction
Shinichi Sawada
Sawada creates symbolic ceramic art objects that look like fictional animals and humans. Although strange in form, they are strange creatures that look somewhat humorous.
The innumerable thorns that cover the surface create a unique world, and the work has a charm that you cannot forget once you see it.
Depending on how you look, the spine-like protrusions look like sensors that sense the world, and they also appear to be covered by body hair that protects you.
Initially, it started with the creation of a small animal-like object that could be grasped, but eventually it grew in size and developed into a sculptural work in a fantasy form that recalled primitive humans and animals. I went.
Sawada quietly continues to produce in a kiln in the mountains of Ritto City, Shiga Prefecture.
Kishaba Moriya
Kishaba Moriya has created a dot series that focuses on the bleeding of ink, after producing works in which the letters and letters are written on one side of the paper and works in which shapes such as bells and squares are drawn in series.
This series always starts by hitting the blue circle in the lower left corner.
This circle is slightly larger than the others because the pen tip is in contact with the paper for a long time.
After the first spot, it seems that he is improvising on the color selection of the dots, but it is unavoidable that he has his own production system because there is no color bias on the screen.
In the new “Dot Series” drawn with colored pencils, the swell of colors creates a mysterious landscape.
Imura Momoka
Creates a round object made of cloth. There are various sizes, from the size to be put on the hand to the size suitable for holding.
It does not have a concrete image, but it is reminiscent of a pet animal or a stuffed animal.
We don’t make big ones from the beginning, but we make small ones to big ones as we grow the objects one by one.
I like pink, so when I arrive at the studio, I wear a pink wig first, and when I’m done with my wig, take off the wig and go home.
Sometimes, I make it by singing, dancing and moving.
Hironobu Matsumoto
There are works of all sizes, from large ones over 3 meters to sketchbook-sized ones, all of which are rich in color, and the details are composed by clear images, and every corner is filled with them to create a story. I am configuring. As you approach the work, you can enjoy the fun of reading it.
The subjects to be dealt with range from large-scale ones such as space and historical battles to minute ones such as fog and bacteria and white blood cells. Regardless of the scale of the subject matter, they all form a kind of world. It can be said that they are introduced through the work, and it became a motivation for the production that the interest in “riddle” such as what kind of law and rule formed and systematized the world was established. There is.
■Overview of the exhibition

【The Ueno Royal Museum】 Exhibition of works held by The Ueno Royal Museum. Holding
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.
Main exhibits
・Approximately 80 points from works (oil paintings, Japanese paintings, etc.) winning the Ueno Royal Museum Grand Prize Exhibition
・Approximately 40 works by Tetsuya Noda (prints).
・Sayaka Akiyama “Walk my basic form Ueno Park” 25th December 2008, 3rd April 7, 7th, 14th, 12th May, 16th May”
*Size notation: F100=162.1×130.3 cm S100=162.1×162.1 cm
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.
[Special Exhibition] Tetsuya Noda Prints <diary> series
There is a display change.
First semester: July 23 (Thurs./holiday) to August 10 (Mon./holiday)
Second semester: Wednesday, August 12-Sunday, August 30
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.

Starting from the outdoor screening of the opening event “『Bohemian Rhapsody』 on August 18.2019.the 「2nd Edo Machi Taito Geigaku Festival"」is still a great success.and the closing event 『Geigasane Maigasa』 I met!
This time, we have covered the event that took place on February 15, so please take a look.
Opening ceremony
The closing event of the 「2nd “Edo Town Taito Geigaku Festival」 started with the opening ceremony.
The ceremony began with greetings from Mr. Yasuhisa Watanabe, Chairman of the Edo Machitoto Geito Festival, Mr. Yukio Hattori, Mayor of Taito City, and Mr. Takeshi Ishizuka, Chairman of the Taito City Assembly.
After the photo session by the performers, each program starts.
Flower kimono dance Asakusa Hanayashiki flower kimono
The closing event is
It started with the dance of the flower kimono by Asakusa Hanayashiki Kimono.
Nine dancers who play an active part in Asakusa Hana Theater dance supplely on the stage using handkerchiefs, umbrellas and fans.
The movement is like a petal swaying in the spring breeze.
Kodan Hakusan Kanda
This is the 6th generation of Kanda Hakusan, who has been promoted to earnest hit on February 11 this year.
It has been featured in various media and is now the hottest lecturer who can’t get a ticket, Hakusan Kanda.
“I heard that it was overcrowded, but there are some places available.”
“It is said that you have to do” Genpei Morning and Oki Ogi no Target “for about 30 minutes. I don’t want to do that much.”
When saying that, the venue is in a whirlpool of laughter.
After grabbing the customer’s heart with a slightly longer macula,
“The reason why she talked so much is that the main story is so short!”
With the momentum and power of the talks of Hakusan who folds steadily, the audience at the venue will be more and more drawn in without having time to breathe.
The talk goes on in a fast-paced narrative. At that time,
“What a time! Time has come!”
I thought, without putting a break,
“But I’m not going tomorrow! May I tell you more about this?”
The talk resumes with great applause.
And fold it to the end,
“To commemorate your well-being and good luck, your target (Mato) may be a big hit!”
Finally, the venue was wrapped in great applause.
Tezuma (wazuma) Daiki Fujiyama
Next is Daiki Fujiyama, one of the few Tezuma teachers who instructs Shintaro Fujiyama as a teacher and inherits the country’s intangible cultural property, Tezuma (wazuma).
He shows his Tezuma overseas and spreads Japanese traditional culture around the world.
“Tezuma” is said to be a twiz because it moves his hands as fast as lightning.
No matter how many times you pass through the sword, it won’t cut off mysteriously.
Japanese musical instrument performance AUN J Classic Orchestra
This is a Japanese musical performance by AUN J Classic Orchestra, a unit of Japanese musicians active in the front line of each instrument.
He has performed well at world heritage sites such as Angkor Wat and Mont Saint Michel, and has earned a high reputation overseas.
An ensemble of six Japanese musical instruments that fit perfectly will shake the venue.
Manzai Lol problem
It is two people with a Lol problem that decorate the big bird at the closing event and the “2nd Edo Town Taito Festival”.
With a poisonous tongue, I slashed the current topical story that can not be broadcast by terrestrial broadcasting and invited the laughter of the venue.
Finale
The last was a towel by the performers.
With great applause, the closing event of the “2nd Edo Town Taito Geisha Festival” has ended.
Conclusion
We reported on the experience report of the “2nd Edo Town Taito Festival” closing event.
Isn’t the stage where dancers, talk arts, and Japanese musical instrument performances were gathered together, and the contents of the talks were just right to add flowers to the closing event?
「The 2nd Edo Machitoto Geiku Festival」, which has enlivened Taito Ward with various performing arts and arts culture for about half a year, has now closed its doors.
