    生誕135年記念「川端龍子」展が目的で初めて訪れた。作品は5つのテーマに沿って100点ほどが2.3階に展示されアトリエまで復元されていた。龍子の作品を纏めて観られたのは龍子記念館だったが今回も展示の殆どが記念館所蔵のものだった。「会場芸術」と称して制作された大作には「草の実」の優作があったが「鳴戸」や「筏流し」の名品はなかった。ただ敗戦直後に描かれた「爆弾散華」や2曲二双の「南飛図」、また青龍展の...

    Nagano Pref. Naganoshi Shinshushinmachikamijou 88-3
    The Shinshu Shinmachi Museum is a one-minute walk from the Bijutsukan Mae bus stop or a 40-minute drive from the Nagano Interchange. It is next to the Shinshu Shinmachi Fossil Museum and the Arishima Ikuma Museum. Visitors can buy a single ticket that admits them to all three museums. The more than 2600 works in the collection were all received from the artists or as gifts from donors. Among the most prominent works in the museum are watercolors of local scenery by Shin Kurihara and 200 woodblock prints by Kishio Koizumi, some of whose works are also in the Louvre. The exhibits are changed every few months.

    今回、私が訪れた時には丁度地域の画家が描いた水彩画展が行われており、信州の田舎風景を舞台にのどかで繊細な水彩画が飾られていました。遠近法も美しく、手前にあるものは瓦屋根やクレーム車の細部までしっかりと描かれていて素晴らしい出来栄えでした。また、1階には油絵や版画もあり、それぞれの画法に合わせた力強いタッチの風景が見られ、絵画のざまざまな可能性も感じられました。特に、大きな油絵で描かれたススキの絵は...

    Nagano Nagano-shi Wakahowatauchi 7963

    冬季オリンピックでお馴染みの建設会社所縁の美術館。国道403号沿い湯島天満宮信濃分社隣。長野東須坂インター下りて10分圏内。公共交通機関でのアクセスは難儀。名品展「夏篇」を見に行きました。ビジネスで財を築いた経営者による私設美術館は全国的に見られますが、当館は大観・松園・観山などの日本画、ルノワール・シャガール・ピカソなどの洋画、ロダンなどの彫刻、その他書跡や工芸品と粒ぞろい。入口横の庭園も手入れ...

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
