The king statue, the gorgeous accessory, and the items specially made for funerals, all of which are precious materials processed with high technology.
If you compare the displayed works, you can see that each culture has different tastes and designs.

People have performed rituals and prayed to please the gods.
Chapter 2 introduces works related to sacred rituals and gods and spirits created by ancient cultures in various regions.
It was not easy for ancient people to run a stable society.
A bit of bad weather leads to serious famines, and wars against conflicting cities and other ethnic groups occur frequently. It must have been extremely important.
This is the background behind the exhibition work of Chapter 2.
There were a variety of religions and beliefs in the ancient world, but every member of society was devoted to their survival and social stability, asking about their relationship with the gods.

The people of all ancient societies used nature and the power of gods by using animal-like vessels and accessories.
For example, wild animals with large horns such as goats are said to symbolize the strength of nature.
The sacred animal statue associated with the gods was believed to have sacred power.
When comparing the displayed works, various appearances and expressions of animals are cut out for each work.

Tokyo National Museum

The 6th “Journey of Asia at the Museum” will be held at the Tokyo National Museum from Tuesday, September 10 to Monday, October 14, 2019.

“Museum in Asia” is the 6th annual event of the Tokyo National Museum this year.
Set in the “Toyokan” where oriental arts, crafts and archaeological artifacts gather, different themes are set up every year.

This year’s theme is “Love”.
Because love is a fundamental human emotion, its objects and forms of fellowship vary.
There must be individual answers about the relationship between love and sex and the difference between love and love.
This time, as the title of “Love Love Asia” *, we will introduce various works on the subject of love and explore how people in Asia have captured and expressed love more than ever before.

* It is officially written as “LOVE Love Asia” (“Love” is a heart symbol).

 

◇ Main works ◇

≪Dreamful wish in one arrow≫

 

 

[Toyokan 13 rooms]

● Nayaka Bee Carnell School, India, 18th Century

In fact, there is a rooster at the tip of the arrow that the man aimed at.
The idea of a man and a woman is drawn that if the rooster doesn’t ring, the morning won’t come, and then they can stay together forever.

* In India, various kinds of love have been expressed in the form of miniature drawings. Some of the works in this exhibition include sexual expression. Please note.

 

≪Embroidery instead of painting! Lucky gifts >>

[10 rooms in Toyokan]

● Flower and bird figure folding screen
Donation of the Kokura Collection Preservation Society

China Qing era, 19th century

Shiratama goko representing a family of waterfowls playing in a lotus pond.
Male and female waterbirds mean love, and chicks and lotus mean progeny.
Since lotus is the same sound as love, it is a motif that also symbolizes love.

Various fire brushes * Donated by Mr. Munehiro Hayashi, China, Qing Dynasty, 4883

Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

From July 20th (Sat), "Iba Reiko Exhibition" will be held at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
<Period: July 20th (Sat)-October 9th (Wed), 2019: Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum Gallery A, B, C>

Reiko Iba (1967-), fascinated by the artist's eyes and the world of motifs, has continued to express the scenery by drawing the texture and light that the motifs want to touch.
The style of making based on the photos taken by myself has not changed, but in recent years, the distance to the motif that has been approaching has gradually increased.
The interest in space and landscapes has increased, and the landscape around them has expanded, and the paintings of Iba have shown new developments. In this exhibition, we will present pictures as a new attempt, including paintings based on photographs taken at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
The private exhibition by Iniwa will be held for the first time in 10 years at the art museum since 2009, “Iba Reiko-The Place of the Day-” (Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art). By introducing recent works and new works as well as displaying the works before that time, we will approach the core of the unchanging interest of Iba Reiko as it has changed over the past 10 years. Prior to the opening ceremony, in addition to the video works that we have made our first challenge, we will introduce exhibition works and various events during the exhibition period.

【Highlight】
1, solo exhibition centered on new works
2, first challenge to video work!
A solo exhibition at an art museum that will be the first in three or ten years (the first solo show at an art museum in Tokyo!)
Details here https://www.tobikan.jp/en/exhibition/2019_yasukoiba.html
[Comment on the exhibition from Atsuko Iba]
I am very happy to receive a request for a new solo exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, just 10 years after the solo exhibition at the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art. On this occasion, I would like to try new things, and this time I am working on new works such as paintings, prints and videos.
The title says "Gaze", but we continue to produce while trying various "How to see". As I repeated the experiment, I could meet something beyond my imagination. By dismantling and reorganizing "seeing", you may come across new perspectives in everyday life. I hope you agree with that in this exhibition.
