Obento

I sometimes take packed lunch to office.

This is my lunch.

There is dried plum and sesame on rice.

Gingham Check

The woman in a gingham check Kimono was painted by Kuniyoshi.

A design of stripes was called "Benkei's checked pattern".

Benkei (1155-1189）was Japanese worrior monk.

He was so strong that he has been taken in Japanese folklore.

Is this skeleton print?

This is a Kuniyoshi's work.

His cloth looks like skeleton print.

But

They are cats!

Can you see?

「ボストン美術館所蔵　俺たちの国芳　わたしの国貞」展
６月５日までBunkamura 　ザ・ミュージアムでやってます。


日本で描かれた絵がアメリカ・ボストンの美術館のコレクションとなって、
日本の企画展でやってくる…　って、ちょっと不思議な感じですが。

今の私たちにとっては、斬新でかっこいいと思います。


お気に入りの２枚の絵については、また後日。

The Exihibition of Ukiyoe.

I went to Kuniyoshi Utagawa and Kunisada Utagaw's Exihibition.

They painted Ukiyoe in Edo period.

Ukiyoe is Japanese wood block printing.

I think it is a pop culture of Edo period.

Ukiyoe seems new to me.
