■ 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.

Shinichi Sawada 《Untitled》 year unknown

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.

Kishaba Moriya 《Dot Series No.10》 2014

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.

Imura Momoka 《Green Ball》2014

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.

【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”

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.

Sanae Fujiwara 「Picnic」 Japanese painting F100 2020 Ueno Royal Museum

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.

Mika Chiba 「Mysterious」oil painting F100 2017 Ueno Royal Museum

 

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.

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.

Exhibition scenery

 

Rembrandt Harmenssohn van Rhein 《Self Portrait at 34 years》 1640

 

(Front of the screen) Thomas Gainsborough, Mrs. Sydons, 1785

The London National Gallery is located in Trafalgar Square in central London. Specializing in Western painting, its world-class collection continues to attract many visitors. Unlike many European museums, the main feature is that it was formed for the sake of the citizens, not The royal collection. In a sense, it can be said that it is “our (our) collection” by the British people.

However, until now, the gallery has been cautious about lending a large number of works, never holding an exhibition outside the UK .

In this exhibition, the world-famous masterpieces of the London National Gallery are a miracle landing in Japan.This opportunity that all works are “first visit to Japan” is truly a historical exhibition.

Now, on a beauty journey around the history of Western painting

Chapter 4 Exhibition venue scenery

 

(Front of the screen) Luca Giordano 《Admiring Velazquez》 1692-1700

 

Joseph Mallord William Turner, Odysseus ridiculing Polyphemus 1829

Paul Cezanne, Provence Hill, 1839-1906

Van Gogh’s fourth “Sunflower” to be unveiled in Japan (1888)

There are 61 works coming to Japan this time.This exhibition consists of seven chapters, and the masterpieces from the Renaissance to the post-impressionist are shown at once.You can get a bird’s eye view of Western painting history while understanding the history of mutual relations between Britain and the European continent, and you can enjoy it just like a textbook, so beginners of Western painting as well as art fans can enjoy it because of the high quality of the collection.It’s an exhibition that you can enjoy.

Not to mention the breadth of the times, Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Turner … The works of painters who are famous in the history of painting are all gathered together in the “Beauty Hall of Fame” and “All-Star of the Western Art World “.”.
In particular, Van Gogh’s “Sunflower” exhibited in Chapter 7 is a special work in which he acknowledged the work himself and marked it. Please enjoy the power of “Sunflower” that gives off a brilliant glow in the venue directly at the venue!

What are the viewing times and points to note?

The viewing time is about one hour if you just look around.If you want to take a closer look at each work, it’s a good idea to look a little further.
Due to the new coronavirus infection, there may be restrictions on the number of people and reservations, but if that happens, there should be plenty of viewing space.
Please check the museum’s support in advance on the official website.

Exhibition work introduction

Johannes Vermeer
《Young woman sitting in front of the virginal》 c. 1670-72

A girl’s gaze that invites the viewer over time.

In recent years, the “Vermeer Boom” in Japan is a new painter in the world.This work exhibit at this exhibition depicts a young woman sitting in front of a virgin (small plucked keyboard instrument) and looking at it. Marble floors, beautifully decorated virgins, paintings with gold picture frames … The luxury of the interior suggests that it is a rather high-ranking woman.

The eye-catching blue color is also called “Vermeer Blue”. And it is a free and open touch that you can not draw too carefully as you can see in the painting behind.It seems that the stringed instrument Viola da Gamba in the lower left is telling us who are watching, “Let’s play together.”

Canaletto (real name: Giovanni Antonio Canal)
《Venice: Grand Canal Regatta》 circa 1735

What I drew is not the scenery, but the liveliness of the citizens (drama).

Canaletto (real name: Giovanni Antonio Canal) is known as the most important landscape painter in Europe in the 18th century.

This “Venice: Grand Canal Regatta” depicts the scenery of a gondola race on the Grand Canal of the painter’s hometown of Venice, but I was amazed by its extraordinary descriptive power and the expression of fresh air and water.I will. The gondola in the middle of the screen is a gorgeous gondola, and a large number of spectators are drawn on both sides of the Grand Canal, which occupies most of the screen, and you can hear the cheers of the people.

Italy is currently forced to live a limited life due to the new coronavirus infection.I just pray for the day when a vibrant scene, as depicted in this painting, returns.

Diego Velázquez, Christ of the House of Malta and Mary, circa 1618

Garlic, eggs, olive oil … Real kitchen conditions for the common people.

A young woman holding a pestle and mortar in a frugal room that seems to be a kitchen. She looks a little grumpy because she cooks to entertain herself, but her sister, Maria, is not helping and listening to Jesus all the time.

This painting is based on the story written in the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament, and was painted by Velasquez, a young man, in his hometown of Seville. It should be noted that the most important questions and answers of Jesus and Mary have. It may be said, so to speak, “genre paintings borrowing the form of religious paintings .” have been pushed to the corners of the screen, and instead, the foreground is drawn with overwhelming texture and realism.

White fish giving off a smooth luster, texture of garlic and eggs on the table … Please take note of the “still life on the table in front” and appreciate it.

Vincent van Gogh “Sunflower” 1888

Van Gogh’s masterpiece loved all over the world.

Van Gogh drew four sunflowers in a vase from 1888 for his friend Paul Ghogan, who plans to live together. “Sunflower” at the London National Gallery was the fourth, and Van Gogh admitted that it was suitable for decorating Gauguin’s bedroom. In other words , it’s Van Gogh’s own approval.

Sunflowers that bloom toward the sun and bloom in golden color.Inspired by techniques learned from the neo-Impressionists during the Paris era, and Japanese ukiyo-e, Van Gogh expressed this intense sunflower image that transcends everyday life and resembles the image of the inner world.

After Van Gogh’s death, I wonder if people around the world have loved it. Please experience the power of “life” in his work for yourself.

“Tezuma” is said to be a twiz because it moves his hands as fast as lightning.

This is a Tezumae that cuts the thumbs of both hands tightly bound with a sword.
No matter how many times you pass through the sword, it won’t cut off mysteriously.
Seven changes. Show the performance of the dance through vivid changes in the face that occur in an instant.
Such an expression。
Finally, Kime pose!

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.
The sound of the shakuhachi supports the melody line of the AUN J Classic Orchestra.
It’s like a shamisen like a guitar
A Japanese drum solo part. The rhythm rises from the bottom of the belly, and the feeling is enhanced.

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.

Two people with Lol problem
I will make the topic of the seasonal entertainment world a story with a poisonous tongue。
Social situation is also bad

Finale

The last was a towel by the performers.

State of hand-to-pew maki。

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.

Denmark is a constitutional monarchy in Northern Europe with a population of about 5.81 million.
The country name is derived from Dummelk, which means Old Norse (= Dane land), and is well known as a renewable energy advanced country and a high welfare state.
In recent years, their lifestyle has also attracted a great deal of attention, including being ranked number one in the United Nations’ World Happiness Rankings.
In relation to Japan, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2017.
The exhibition introduces some of the works of Denmark’s Wilhelm Hamashuy (1864-1916) and the surrounding works of Nordic art.

“Northern Vermeer” Hammershøi

Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916), one of the leading painters of Danish painting in the late 19th century.
Hamashui begins drawing lessons at the age of eight.
After studying painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the age of 15, he made his debut in “Portrait of Sister Ana” (1885) at the age of 21.
In the early days, I liked landscape paintings and portraits in the early days, but since the 1890s I have been drawing a lot of indoor paintings.
Strangerse 30 in the old town of Copenhagen, who moved when he was 34 in 1898.
A series of quiet and calm works depicting the apartment have won high acclaim both in and outside Denmark.
The work attracted Diagilehu of ballet Ruth and Rilke, a German poet.
It was called “Northern Vermeer” and attracted attention.

Highlight

 

There are four highlights of the Hamashui and Danish painting exhibition.

① About 40 Hammershøi works will be gathered

Approximately 40 Hammershøi works, including the first in Japan, will be gathered at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
More than 10 years after the 2008 exhibition, Hammershøi works, also called “Northern Vermeer”, will return to Japan.
Please enjoy one side of that unique talent.

② Japan’s first authentic Danish painting exhibition

The golden age of Danish painting, which opened in the early 19th century in Copenhagen, the center of Nordic art.
From pure and rustic works of that era to beautiful Skain works incorporating the impressionist-style depiction of light, and the works of painters who worked in the capitals of the end of the century, who paint characteristic interior paintings. to introduce.

③Experience the Danish culture “Hyge”

Hygge means “relaxing” and “comfortable atmosphere” and is a very important Danish value.
It is the highlight of the exhibition that you can touch the Danish values.
The work of Danish painters in the late 19th century draws on Hyge, the beautiful Nordic nature, the people who live there, and the families who spend their time in a calm space.
By touching the Hughes in the works, you will be reminded of what we really want to value in life.

Featured works!

 

Here are some of the highlights from each chapter.

Chapter 1  Daily Praise-The Golden Age of Danish Paintings Featured Works

 

『A girl with a fruit basket』

A work by Constantine Hansun, son of Hans Hanson, a portrait painter.
This work is also famous for being later owned by Hamashui, and it seems that it was displayed on Strangese 25, where he spent his later years.
Is the whole work emitting a strong light, despite its subdued colors, due to the strength of the girl’s gaze looking straight at it?

Constantine Hansun, Girl with a Fruit Basket, circa 1827 Oil on canvas National Gallery of Denmark

 

『Portrait of Fredereghe Laffenbaer (née Heylop)』

Wilhelm Maastran was born in Copenhagen and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, depicting the wife of Michelle Lafenbär, a prominent Danish tax official.
Rafenbea’s wife, stretching her back and staring straight at me.
Its elegant appearance is a mixture of strength and tenderness.
St. Peter’s Basilica, which can be seen outside the window, also enhances this work.

Chapter 2  Skein School and Scandinavian Light Featured Works

 

『Fishers rowing boats 』

A work by Michel Anga, famous as a painter representing Skain schools.
Fishermen in life jackets pushing a boat with a rugged look and going to the sea.
What is going on?
A tense situation ahead of the fishermen and the people watching it.
The intensity of the waves is increasing steadily.
It is a work with a sense of tension that is nervous and throbbing until you see it.

Michel Anga, Fishermen Rowing a Boat, 1881 Oil on canvas Skayne Museum

 

『 Girls and children picking flowers in the field north of Skain 』

This is also the work of Michel Anga.
Unlike the work depicting the tense situation of fishermen,
The meadow has a gentle time that lasts forever.
The girls picking flowers and their mother watching them under the everlasting blue sky.
The blue, pink, yellow, and greenery of the flowers are covered by a large sky.

Michel Anga, Girl and Children Picking Flowers in the North Fields of Skain, 1887 Oil on canvas
Skain Museum

 

Chapter 3  Danish paintings at the end of the 19th century-Internationalization and the rise of indoor paintings

 

『Sunshine in Living Room, Painter’s Wife and Child』

A work by Viggo Pedasson, whose father is Wilhelm Pedasson, an Andersen fairy tale illustration artist.
A work depicting Vigo’s wife, Ilisabeto, easing her little daughter in the living room at home.
The gentle face of his wife who cares for her daughter and the face of her young daughter who loves moms are very dear.
It seems that even the expression of Vigo, drawing while smiling, is transmitted here.

Viggo Pedasson, Sunlight in the Living Room, Painter’s Wife and Child, 1888 oil on canvas, National Gallery of Denmark

 

『Flower peach tree、Arles』

A work by Crestian Moaié-Pidasun, who has been in France, the Netherlands and Belgium, and is also famous for his friendship with Van Gogh in Arles.
The composition is very similar to Van Gogh’s “To Memories of Mauffet” and is believed to have been painted a few meters from where Van Gogh drew.
I was drawn into the gorgeous colors of the peach blossoms.
When approaching a little, the gentle scent of peach blossoms seems to be faintly transmitted.

Crestian Moaié-Pidasson, Arles, Blooming Peach Tree, 1888 Oil on canvas, Hiashprong Collection

 

Chapter 4  Vilhelm Hammershøi-Featured Works in the Silence of the Capital

『Room-Sunshine Study, Strangese 30』

This is a work by Vilhelm Hammershøi depicting a room facing the courtyard of Strangese 30.
The light in the room coming through the elongated lattice window appears to drift steadily.
I imagine that if you open the window, the dazzling outside world is waiting.
The contrast between this bright outside world and the closed dark door is also exquisite.
Which is real and which is unreal?

Vilhelm Hammershøi, “Room-Sunshine Study, 30 Strangese”, 1906 Oil on canvas, Davis Collection

 

『Bedroom』

A work depicting the bedroom of Vilhelm Hammershøi of Labex Ali.
Two curtains hanging on the room
The light coming in from here is very soft.
Due to the light, the woman’s profile looking out of the window seems to be smiling somewhere. What are you looking at?
A purple vase placed in the center of the window tightens the interior painting.

Vilhelm Hammershøi, “Bedroom”, 1896 oil on canvas Güteborg Museum

Conclusion

I have reported on the press preview of “Vilhelm Hammershøi and Danish Painting Press Preview Report”.
After more than 10 years, Hamashui’s works and other Danish paintings have reunited in Japan.
By touching these Danish works and cultures at the exhibition, you will discover new perspectives and values.
This exhibition is a valuable opportunity to introduce the first Danish painting in Japan at once.
Why don’t you visit the “Vilhelm Hammershøi and Danish Painting” at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum?

At the venue, many people were eager to appreciate the work

【Tokyo National Museum】Nihon Shoki 1300 Special Exhibition Izumo and Yamato Press Preview Report

Tokyo National Museum

This year of the Olympic year, Reiwa 2 (2020), is also a memorable year of 1300 since the Nippon Shoki was compiled.
To commemorate this, the Tokyo National Museum in Ueno, Heiseikan, will hold a special exhibition “Izumo and Yamato” from Wednesday, January 15 to the establishment of the Nihon Shoki 1300 .
(* First-half exhibition: January 15 (Wed)-February 9 (Sun) Second-half exhibition: February 11 (Tuesday / holiday)-March 8 (Sun))
Prior to the exhibition, there was a press preview the other day.


What is the special exhibition “Izumo and Yamato”?

Japan’s oldest Masafumi and Nihonshoki, written from Kamiyo to Emperor Joshi 11 (697),
The chief of the Tonin (Toneri Shinnou, 676-735) is the main composer,
It is a history book consisting of 30 volumes played by Emperor Gensho Tenno in Yoro 4 years (720).
In the national myth at the beginning of the Nihon Shoki, Okuninushi, enshrined at Izumo Taisha Shrine,
The existence of the world “spirit” beyond human ability, the emperor in the land of Yamato is the existence of the visible real world “ken”.
This special exhibition “Izumo and Yamato” is jointly held by Shimane and Nara prefectures, which symbolize the “Yu” and “Ken” in ancient times, and the Tokyo National Museum.
In the special exhibition, Izumo and Yamato’s masterpieces gather together to explore the formation of ancient Japan and its characteristics.
※ Enshrined (= the spirit is settled in a certain place)

Highlight

There are four highlights of the special exhibition “Izumo and Yamato”.

① Izumo Taisha Sacred treasure can be seen in Tokyo

From ancient times, you can see works telling the history of Izumo Taisha, such as the treasures such as hand boxes and armor transmitted to Izumo Taisha, giant pillars excavated from the precincts, paintings decorating the shrine.
In particular, the two pillars, the Shinto Hashida (Shino only pillar) and the Uzu Pillar (Uzuba Shira), allegedly supporting the 48-meter-long main shrine of Izumo Taisha, have been unveiled for the first time in history!
It is a valuable document that supports the existence of the main shrine of Izumo Taisha.

② Large quantity of bronze ware excavated in Tokyo for the first time in about 20 years

189 exhibits from bronze ware (copper sword, bronze dot, bronze spear) excavated from the national treasure, Kojindani archeological site, and 30 pieces from bronze spear excavated from the national treasure, Kamoi Iwakura archeological site.
This is the first time such a large amount of unearthed bronze ware has gathered in Tokyo for about 20 years.

③ Exhibition of the most excavated triangular green beast mirror

33 triangular green sacred beast mirrors that protected and calmed down the burial mounds of the Kurozuka tumulus.
As for the number excavated from one tumulus, all the points of the largest triangular green beast mirror in Japan are exhibited.

④ First public! A hidden Buddha statue

The oldest stone Buddha that has been quietly guarded in the land of Yamato for 1300 years will be unveiled outside the temple.
Pay attention to the details, such as the slight remaining coloring and the sharp digging hole.

■ Introducing the hottest exhibits!

Featured exhibits are introduced in chapters.

Chapter 1 Giant Main Hall Izumo Taisha Highlight Exhibition

“Shin-nomihashira” and “Uzu-hashira”

A pillar excavated at a depth of 1.3 meters under the grounds of Izumo Taisha Shrine in 2000.
If you look closely, there are traces of gouging on the pillars.
This is the trace of a rope and the surface of a hatchet whose surface was adjusted when logging and transporting it from the site to the exhibition room.
Even in the local area, it is not easy to display side by side,
It is a valuable opportunity.
I looked at both pillars from all angles.
I can’t actually touch my hands, but I felt that the feeling was different depending on where I touched, such as being rough or glossy.

“Shingo Pillar” Archeological site in Izumo-taisha, Izumo-shi, Shimane Kamakura period Houji 2nd year (1248) Shimane-Izumo-taisha
“Uzu Pillar” Izumo-shi, Shimane Izumo Taisha Shrine Remains Kamakura period Houji 2nd year (1248)
Shimane / Izumo Taisha Shrine (stored in Shimane Prefectural Ancient Izumo History Museum)

Two pillars have been installed to reproduce the actual situation inside the premise of Izumo Taisha.
Stand between the pillars, spread your hands widely and look up to see the real feeling.

 

 

Chapter 2 Izumo

National treasure “Bronze Sword” Aragami Valley, Izumo-shi, Shimane

It is a bronze sword excavated during excavation in 1984.
All the bronze swords on display appear to be of the same size and standardized, but if you look closely, you will see a ✖ engraved on the stem.
This is considered to be a trace of the process from production to burial at once, a feature not found in other bronze swords distributed around San-in.
It makes me feel that the delicate Japanese manufacturing technology has been around since ancient times.

National treasure “Bronze hoko” Aragami Valley, Izumo-shi, Shimane

This is the 16 bronze hoko from the Aragami Valley, which boast the highest number of unearthed rocks in Japan.
If you compare them one by one, you will find something.
A rattled edge, a relatively clean edge,
Rusted and faded, black-brown and shiny,
And the unique bronze hoko are lined up.

National treasure “Bontan dot” Ruins of Aragami Valley, Izumo-shi, Shimane

It is a bronze dot excavated from Aragami Valley.
There are various types, but they are almost the same size.
There are many places where the end of the bronze is scratched, and there are traces of considerable use.
What kind of thoughts did people at that time stare at at this bronze dot?

Chapter 3 Yamato

National treasure “Seven swords”

It is a treasure sword transmitted to Ishigami Jingu Shrine, and a treasure similar to the Shinto shrine.
Formerly, it was subdued in the main shrine.
A very rare type that has branches growing sideways is characteristic,
In the center is an inscription of 61 characters.
On the surface, a statement that if you have this sword, you will reject hundreds of changes,
On the reverse side, there is a statement that the royal family of Baekje on the Korean Peninsula was dedicated to the King of Wa.
It is a rare and rare opportunity to see this seven-armed sword, which is also described in the Nihon Shoki, as a seven-sheathed sword!

・ Important Cultural Property “Gamon Belt Mirror”

The “gamon Belt Mirror” displayed in the center is a copper mirror excavated from the Hokenoyama Burial Mound in Nara Prefecture.
On the outside, a car with a sun wheel, a beast pulling the car, and a sensation are shown in relief.
It is very small but has a strong presence.

・ Important Cultural Property “Triangle Beast Mirror”

The “Triangle Beast Mirror” displayed on the left and right is a copper mirror excavated from the Kamihara Shrine Tumulus in Kamo-cho, Yunnan City, Shimane Prefecture.
On the outside, patterns of Shinsen and spirit beasts are engraved.
The appearance of the 33 faces is spectacular.

Chapter 4  Buddha and Government (the festival)

・ Two eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statues

Two 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statues in the center of the photo.
At that time, we prayed for the great power of Kannon and wished for the prosperity of the country and the safe lives of the people.
It is strange to stand in front of the statue of the Kannon Bodhisattva, because you will feel as if you are being protected by something invisible.

・ (Of Shitenno statue) National treasure “Hirome Tendai statue” *Left
・ (Of Shitenno statue) “Tamon statue”  * Right

Shitenno is a symbol of national politics.
Both the two Buddha statues are impressive with thick eyebrows and large nose.
At first, I was overwhelmed by the intimidation of the Buddha statue, but after staring at it for a while, I realized that there was a person who did not want to leave the place forever.

Conclusion

I have reported on the press preview of “1300 Nihonshoki Special Exhibition Izumo and Yamato”.
Works that tell the history of Izumo Taisha, a large number of excavated bronze pieces exhibited for the first time in 20 years、
33 triangular triangle Beast Mirror、Buddha statues.
All of these exhibits were full of stimulus and it was not enough just once and it was a fulfilling content that I wanted to see again and again.
The preview was really flooded with so many people that it was so hot that you had to wait to see the exhibits.

“Nihon Shoki 1300 Special Exhibition Izumo and Yamato” currently being held at the Heiseikan at the Tokyo National Museum. Why don’t you come and celebrate the 1300 year of Nihon Shoki through experiencing the process of ancient Japan? Is not it?
