Nomurabunkazaidan Nomura Art Museum - Kyoto

いつ訪れても、期待を裏切らない美術館です。

小さな美術館ですが、それゆえ静かな時間が流れています。呈茶があります。駐車場は、数台止まれそうです。

교토에는 수많은 박물관과 미술관이 있지만, 큰 곳에서 거창한 마음가짐으로 온종일 관람하기에는 체력이 모자란 분께 추천. 차도구와 다도를 중점으로 다루고 있는 작고 알찬 미술관이다. 부설로 있는 다실도 무척 좋았다.

静かに拝見できる環境にあります。 内容もとてもすばらしかった。 展示内容が変わったらまた伺いたいです。 お土産のような物は絵はがき中心でもう一つといったところでしょうか。

I only passed by but I'm impressed by the surrounding

Very peaceful, lots of nature. A little difficult to get to. Super hot this time of year, August. Lots of temples nearby!

Exhibit collections of Mr. Nomura, founder of NOMURA groups. He collected items related to Tea ceremony and Noh play. Small but well organized. Please check what seasonal exhibition is before visiting.

SOFT and NOBLE, 優美 It was surprising that Fumihide and Harukata Nomura, at the end 70s, the museum in the earth to build, in order to avoid any obstacle on beauty of surrounding Higashiyama East Mountain, the Nanzenji 南禅寺　Area. Instead of dominant Tea ceremony schools in Kyoto under Sen Style, Senke Style 千家　introduced by Tanaka 田中、Nomura preferred to Yabunouchi 藪の内　which was founded by the famous Ceramic Artist Oribe 織部。 Unlike very strict formality of Sen 千,　I found Yabu no chi school, very smooth, fluent like water flowes. Mr.Tokushichi Nomura, the grand father of those Nomura brothers and sister, he, as founder of Nomura Imperium, not only money but his taste was of the finest art is the highest level, So that he has built Villa Hekiunso 碧雲荘, with several Tea Cottages including Yuushiki 又織、 and even to taste Ous お薄　in the House boat 屋形船　on the Pond. About 300 pine trees are so carefully treated, that the branches grows in the natural lines which is quite different ,from those of the Tokugawa Villen. They are apparently under influence of Konfuzius. As She Sun Sui 朱　瞬水　has brought bonsai 盆栽　way of quite unnatural shape of treatment, ie. pine trees in Hama Rikyu 浜　離宮。 Tokyo. Tokushichi Nomura has also built his own Noh 能　Theatre in his Hekiunso Villa, as he performed himself Benkei 弁慶 in the Kanjinchou. 勧進帳。 One never can enough underline, how large their contribution to defend Japanse Culture, when the Westerization after the great war, was overwhelming. appendix: Every year, at the end of January,, I have visited Salzburg, because of Mozart Festival. I was very surprised to watch the Ceremony at Jacob Church,. The Priest proceed with smelling of wood. 脂　やに　of Desert in Jemen. Then the Priest bring Silver Wine Cup in snow white cloth. He wipes the Wine cup with white cloth so politely. In this moment I had to remember of Fukusa Sabaki 袱紗　　捌き in the Tea Ceremony. Nabu no Uschi 藪の内　Tea Manner do not force to hard on Formality but more fluent natural way of Tea Tasting. Young man born in the family of Fish dealer, had he not notice the Ceremony of Portuguese in the Harbour of Settsu 摂津　? And Title Sen 千 one Thousand, from the name of his grand father Tanaka Sen Ami 田中　千阿弥　? Michihiko Inoue , born in Kyoto 1933 live in Germany.
