EDO PAINTINGS

COLLECTION

Japan, rich in the four seasons, has depicted various birds along with seasonal flowers. From the Kano school, Rinpa school, Tosa school, Nanpin school, Shijo school, and more, enjoy realistic peacocks, stylized cranes, anthropomorphized owls, and birds filled with individuality.

FLOWER AND BIRD

花・鳥

Enjoy animal paintings that are sometimes deified or personified, and are at times magnificent or lovely, ranging from familiar creatures such as deer and rabbits to faraway exotic animals such as rhinoceroses and leopards, from detailed observations to valuable reproductions of imported books.

ANIMAL

動物

Not only woodblock prints, but also hand-painted artworks exist in ukiyo-e. Unlike collaborative works by artists, engravers, and printers, hand-painted works directly reflect the skill of the artist and can be considered a rare and valuable art form that Japan can be proud of. Enjoy the beauty of Japan, which has evolved independently due to geographical factors as an island nation and social factors such as national seclusion.

UKIYO-E

浮世絵

Shuki Okamoto was a samurai of the Odawara clan and continued his creative activities as an artist along with fellow artists Kazan Watanabe and Keisa Onishi i. During the Koka period, the tenth generation head of the family, Toshitugu, requested Shuki to stay and create fusuma and byobu paintings when he established his residence, Tekisuiken, along the Mito Highway. This is the origin of the Tekisuiken Collection. Enjoy the flowers and creatures depicted by Shuki.

SHUKI OKAMOTO

岡本秋輝

比較的安価で大量生産が可能であった版画とは異なり、肉筆浮世絵は絵師が直接筆で描いたもので、制作点数が限られ希少価値が高いと言えます。そのため、国外に流出した浮世絵版画とは違い、肉筆浮世絵は日本国内で大切にされていました。しかし現在、肉筆浮世絵の鑑賞する機会は限られています。それら肉筆浮世絵の岩絵具や、紙・絹などの伝統的な画材が生み出す独特の質感や色の美しさを、国内外のより多くの人たちに見てもらい、その魅力に気付いてほしいと思います
