Taito Ward Sumida Park

On Saturday, April 21, 2018 (Saturday), this day when it became sweaty and cheerful, at the Sumida Park in Taito Ward “The 36th Asakusa Yabusame” was held.
The appearance that Archer shoots a target while riding a horse is brave. We interviewed the venue filled with its brilliant technology, so I will show how that situation is.

Kusajishi

Prior to Yuuma horse, “Kusajishi” was performed at the venue. The Kusajishi is aimed at shooting, that is, shooting a bow from the ground, not on a horse. Its origin is said that when Yoritomo held a hunt, families often shoot deer and other prey, it began as a practice of shooting.

The Kusajishi is in the form of a deer, the shooter aims at the white spots drawn on the deer with arrows, and competes for win / loss. However, hitting just is not a hit. Magistrate as a referee will comprehensively judge the appearance of arrows, the way the arrows fly, the place where the sharp arrow fell, and so on. Therefore, if there is an error in the work such as how to carry the feet, it will be off even if you are in the middle. In the old book is written down as “shooting” and is a Kusajishi that was done in a competitive sense, but its work is strictly stipulated. In the Kusajishi held this time, commentaries were made at key points so that visitors can be familiar with them according to the prescribed work.

As occasionally a strong wind blows, when the shooter makes a fine impression, the cheers cheered from the venue. In fact, words are exchanged between the archer and the magistrate. This is because the magistrate asked the shooter, “Do you think that the current arrow was a good arrow”? Or, the shooter tells the judgment of the magistrate, it is done in an old wording such as “I think with ~” I will. Some shooters say that they should have been a wonderful arrow like a sky tree, and the venue was laughed with laughter.

Horseback archery

Flower horse was performed at the venue next door when the Kusajishi was over. In Fushima, you will shoot three parts from the top of the horses. It is surprising to see the venue, the narrow width of Baba. Horses will sedge sand with a width of about 2 meters and a length of about 300 meters.

The horse horse begins after the horse is a matrix and walks along Baba. When the magistrate who stands at Baba book (starting point) and the end of Baba (end point) signals big Baba by swinging a big fan, the horse runs out and the shooter rushes out with the first, second, To go. He is a plate of 54 centimeters square. Paper is set behind that, confetti snow flying at once when it is shot. A great cheer came out of the audience as the gods shot through.

Some horses were able to run at a tremendous speed, and there were scenes where the shooter got shot by too much speed. It seems that young horses sometimes get out of speed too much. However, it is not necessarily easy to shoot on a slow horse, and the late running horse shakes up and down, so the shooter was explained in the plaza that it is necessary to train the trunk.

Asakusa Ryoma horse is performed in Ogasawara style under the guidance of Ogasawara Muneya. Ogasawara style is a style beginning with Nagasute Ogasawara who served Yoritomo. The Ogasawara family served as a teacher of generals at the end of the Tokugawa period, and today they communicate relet, archery and archery art. The Ogasawara family tells the rewarding and manners to train the archer’s trunk and improve archery.

Inherit the tradition, send out to the world

In Asakusa Shrine in the Edo period, it is a ridiculous horse race held as a priestess, but Asakusa Ryoma horse, which has reached 36th this time, is held as a sightseeing event, and the thought of restoring traditional events and inheriting it is put in it . Mr. Kiyotada Ogasawara, a 31-year-old samurai who told us a story at the venue, said, “I am very pleased with this opportunity because I can pass on to the next generation while preserving the old traditions.”

Also, many foreigners were present at the venue, and commentaries were also made in English on the premises. In addition, since this year marks the 160th anniversary of friendship between Japan and France, the French Embassy in Tokyo served as General Magistrate, traditional but international aspects were also seen.

It has been 150 years since Edo changed from Meiji. In Taito Ward this year we will position this year as the “Edo Renaissance first year” and we plan to develop business to succeed Edo’s charm and develop into the future. Why do not you visit history and traditional culture by all means?

Taito Ward Shogo Museum

Exhibition “Everyone wants to see” Excellent Exhibition Part 14 Nakamura’s Famous Collection for a Month before Closed! Claims of Calligraphy Museums “

Calligraphy museum standing next to “Konami-an” where Masaoka Kikuna resides. Collections of valuable collections in Chinese and Japanese calligraphy history collected by Nakamura Fumi (1866-1943), both a Western painter and a calligrapher, are held.

Because of facility construction, the calligraphy museum will be closed from the whole building for approximately five months from April 16 (Monday) to September 25 (Tue) in 2018. As a special project before this holiday closed, a lot of masterpieces held in the collection are released from March 16 (Fri) to April 15 (Sun) in 2018. We interviewed this exhibition, so we will introduce it.

Kanji used for ritual, kanji used for reward from king

In this exhibition, ‘Konjotobun’, which is the oldest existing kanji material present, is displayed. In the Yin Dynasty (around the 13th century before), the shell statements engraved on the bones of the turtle’s stomach and the shoulder of the cow. It was used to divine the will of God. At the time of the brush sentence, it is already seen that it is biased.

“Kodoku Den”, which was made in the Xi’an era (the ninth century before), is a bronze ware made in commemoration of the mission of a man who is a member of the king who works as a king’s nearby servant. On the inside is sentence on achievement. Looking from the front, it seems that the sentences are lined up straight though the vessel draws a curve. I carefully adjust the length of the letters. You can ask about the height of technology at the time.

The type of kanji changed from ”Tensho” to ”Reisho”, and it became easier to write.

Kanji, called ”Tensho”, used in places related to God, had a typeface like a hieroglyph and it was hard to write.In the era of Han, Kanji changed to a typeface called ”Reisho” which reduced the curve and became easier to write.

“Zhang transition monster” was a work that Mr. Nakamura never liked very much. I write this work and I am learning that taste. Actually, unfamiliar books are used for the signs of “Shinjuku Nakamuraya” and the label of sake “Masumi”. From those works, you can sense the style similar to Zhang Tradition.

Among the numerous collections, one disappointing item was “Nishigaki Huashan Mausoleum – Long Kakimoto – (Shiga Kanzan Biwa Kobanban)”. This work with good shape and powerfulness, and taste of antiquity is a takamoto taken from a stone monument about 1000 years ago. The monument has already been lost, and only 4 trakuses exist. It is a highly value-priced item.

Documents protected by the desert

Paper is a very difficult material to save. The older one had fewer handwriting, and the one before Tang was thought to be close to absence. However, in 1900, the wall collapsed within the Dunhuang Mogao caves (Tonkobakko) located at the entrance to China from the Taklimakan Desert in Central Asia, from which 4 to 60 thousand brushed documents were discovered It was. The climate of the desert with constant humidity and few insects kept the document. In this exhibition, a document of a magazine which was excavated in this area and designated as an important cultural property is displayed.

God of writing, Wang Fuyuyuki

Wang Yunoyuki (Ogushi 303 – 361) called the god of the book. I do not have a handwriting, but that taste is conveyed by reproduction. In this exhibition, a duplicate of Wang Yuyu’s books was displayed, including “Ranjitei-sama (Ranjojo kotoba)”, which is regarded as the highest masterpiece in the history of Chinese books It is.

Ancient monument of Japan in UNESCO “Memory of the world”

Last year, Gunma Prefecture’s “Ueno Sanmon (Kozuku Sanpi)” was registered in UNESCO “World Memory”. In this exhibition, the three monuments of Takamoto are released. Not only do you enjoy the book, but also pay attention to the Takamoto technique and you may find it interesting to see it from the viewpoint “What kind of patcher is the best?”

All the works we have introduced so far are exhibited in the “Nakamura Mugen Memorial Hall”, but valuable collections are also displayed in the main building.

In this interview, Nomura Nakamura researcher Shoki Nakamura (Nakamura Nobuhiro) gave a commentary on the work of the calligraphy museum. In various places of the museum there are sticky notes that make me smile, but these are written by Ms. Nakamura. When visiting, please try looking.

Kanji essential to our lives. At the calligraphy museum, you can enjoy its history. Why do not you come and visit the charm of the books?
