参加者ふたり目のスピーチは、斎場でのヨガ体験です。JAの施設活用の一環で、ヨガ1時間、座禅30分、おかゆporridgeの試食、般若心経、最後は葬式用の余った引き出物leftoverの販売会というのがイベント内容です。友人と参加したそうですが、おかゆだけでは足りず、その後ファミレスに行ったと話していました。最後は私の番でしたが、先月の浮世絵の補足説明をさせていただきました。Additional information on Ukiyo-e:Ukiyo-e includes hand-painted paintings and woodblock prints. Woodblock prints are divided into one-sheet prints and woodblock prints. Woodblock prints made mass production and low prices possible. This is why Ukiyo-e became popular among the common people.The publishers planned and established a division of labor between the artist (illustrator), the carver (engraving the original), and the printer (printer). They were sold at low prices, and in the case of printed books, they could also be rented out. The price of an ukiyo-e print is often said to be the same as a bowl of soba noodles.The subjects of ukiyo-e are wide-ranging, but mainly depict the customs of the townspeople.Early on, the subject matter was the hedonistic world of kabuki and brothels, and many actors and beautiful women were painted. Later, this expanded to include a number of subjects, such as warrior paintings and landscapes (famous places).In order to prevent criticism of the Edo Shogunate and any violation of public morals, the Shogunate frequently issued bans restricting content.In the second half of the 19th century, ukiyo-e was officially exhibited at the Paris World's Fair (1867), where it created a sensation, sparking Japonism and influencing Impressionist painters.Since the 19th century, a large number of ukiyo-e works have been exported overseas, influencing European artists. Approximately 500,000 ukiyo-e works are in collections overseas, including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts with approximately 50,000 pieces, the Victoria and Albert Museum with approximately 38,000 pieces, the British Museum with 20,000 pieces, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts with approximately 30,000 pieces, and other European and American art museums in Germany, Italy, and other countries, universities and other educational institutions, and private collections, exceeding the 300,000 in Japan.Here are some ukiyo-e art museums. The Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Omotesando is a museum specializing in ukiyo-e. The Tokyo National Museum is home to the Matsukata Collection. The Okada Museum of Art in Hakone has special exhibits of Utamaro's original paintings and Hokusai's shunga. In Sumida Province, there is the Hokusai Museum.In Uchibo, Chiba Prefecture, there is a museum dedicated to Hishikawa Moronobu, who is famous for his "Mikaeri Bijin" (beauties who look back). I saw Ando Hiroshige's Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido at the MOA Museum of Art in Atami.このような草稿を作成し、Q1:How much is a one-sheet Ukiyo-e?Q2:What genre of Ukiyo-e do you like?Q3:How many Ukiyo-e prints remain in the world?などの質問を交えて、スピーチさせてもらいました。補足:I think Ukiyo-e was a subculture of the Edo period.The mainstream was painting by Kano school which was patronized by the government.資料:
