When you hear the word Japanese painting, you may have an image that seems to be difficult and difficult.
However, the painting genre called Japanese painting is by no means old. It is a "new painting" that is arranged by incorporating the elements of Western "paintings" based on the traditional Japanese painting style.
Certainly, the mainstream form of rock paint on picture silk, mulberry, and hemp paper was the mainstream, but today it is a freedom, such as using chemical -synthesized rock paint or drawn on basal materials other than Japanese paper. There are also high aspects.
A step towards such a Japanese painting is sold by Nagagawa Ku Powder Co., Ltd., a long -established rock paint manufacturer in Kyoto.Let's enjoy Japanese paintingHow about being stepped in the series?

1.I enjoyed Japanese painting and already "Sakura"
Sakura is one of the flowers that symbolizes Japan.
There are many masterpieces of Japanese paintings depicting this flower, but the night cherry blossoms drawn in the 20th century by Taikan Yokoyama are also stored by Okura Kokudan in Tokyo. It is also an exhibition at the Roman Japanese Art Exhibition, which was realized by Okura Zaibatsu Koshiro Okura from the belief that he wanted to communicate Japanese art to the world.
From January 23 to March 24, 2024, the museum at the museum was a special exhibition of "Spring of Okura Koikan -New Year, Waiting for Spring". A work with the theme of the zodiacs, Kiyoshi, and Hanatori Fugetsu that celebrate the spring will be exhibited.
Why don't you get inspired by Okura Kokan's work and try Japanese painting?

2.I enjoyed Japanese painting and already "Mejiro"
Mediairo is a small bird about 11.5 cm in length, which is at the foot of Japan and urban areas. It is said to be "white -green" because of the white area around the eyes, the back is yellow -green, the stomach is white, and the throat is yellowish. It is sometimes treated as a summer bird because of the breeding season from early summer, but in this figure, it is stuck in plums, a spring flower.
Because, in the spring, the media seems to come to suck camellia and plum blossoms as nutrition. Is this reference work captured that moment?
The bird called Waguis is also popular as a bird that tells the coming of spring. This bird is also a slightly larger bird that is slightly larger than the white -eye, and is also a bird that also sucks plum honey.
There is also a customary phrase "Ume Niju" as a parable of harmoniousness and a close relationship, and you can see that it is a motif that is as loved as cherry blossoms.
3.I enjoyed Japanese painting and "Kakitsubata edition"
Kakitsubata, one of the famous motifs for Japanese paintings. If you write in kanji, it will be written as "Moriwaka". For those who live in Japan or have visited on a trip, you may have seen it as a motif behind the 5000 yen bill.
The Japanese name was a change of "Kakikitsu -ka", and it used to be dyed with the flower juice. It has been loved as a combination of everyday wear and Kariginu (Kariginu) of the public family since the Heian period. This combination is called the flower color of the indigo flower color, and the moe yellow of the young leaves, which makes this flower feel the sprout and summer coming.
One of the most famous works with Moriwaka is the national treasure by Korin Ogata, "Tsubame Hanatake". This work was drawn in the Edo period (18th century), and is a work that is skillfully drawn on the six -song -one folding screen of the Golden Golden area using natural cluster and green blue shades. 。
This is owned by the Nezu Museum of Art in Tokyo, and around May, you can watch the floral forest in the garden on the premises of the museum and enjoy the work by Korin.

4.I enjoyed Japanese paintings and already "Jobitaki edition"
Syobitaki is about 14cm long and is a bird about the same size as a sparrow. It breeds in eastern Asian continents and travels to Japan as a winter bird. It is often seen in miscellaneous forests, fields, gardens, etc., and lives with insects and nuts.
Although this bird has a little strange name, Joubitaki's "Jou" means silver hair (there seems to be various theories about the etymology). "Vitaki" seems to be named this because the sound of ticking the beak is similar to the sound of hitting the fire stone.
In Japanese art and Japanese paintings, including the Mejiro editions introduced in this article, flowers and birds are often stored in one work.
This is an orient painting style called "Hanatori Painting", which has become a theme since the Song period of China, and was imported to Japan since the Muromachi period. This joubitaki edition is also drawn in accordance with the format, and a joke bitaki on the branch of a ghost is drawn. In Tokyo, the row of the row of the Meiji Jingu Gaien is the best time from November to December.
Despite the prime location in Tokyo, this area is very natural with trees growing, so you may be able to see the wild birds, such as Jobitaki.
You can choose the seasonal design of the start of the start, or you can buy it according to the birthday month for gifts.
5.Beginners' Kit "Sakura", "Tsubaki edition", "Morning glory", "Kikyo", "Kankan"
「Let's enjoy Japanese paintingIt is a kit for beginners, which is a little more affordable than the series.
It is possible to produce two postcards (15 x 10cm) works that can be displayed in the room just by drawing like a coloring picture in the same way. The color combination of paint in the set changes depending on the flower. In addition, it is an affordable price because the number of colors and paintbrushes are reduced compared to the set of "Enjoy Japanese painting" set.
There are some motifs as the flowers introduced above, but there are some that are not included in the "Fun Japanese Painting" set, such as "Tsubaki" and "Kanbotan".
Speaking of Tsubaki's masterpiece, Hayami Mifune is "Meiju Chichiribaki".
Ban is a motif that is loved not only in Japan but also in Oriental art, and is a very good luck pattern, combining it with the phoenix of the spirit beast.
