Tokyo National Museum Kuroda Memorial Hall

Shinichiro Okada's museum trilogy, It's a wonderful brick building. The intersection side was Ueshima Coffee Ten. Admission is free. (Free is amazing in this era) The work of Kiyotaka Kuroda is exhibited on the 2nd floor. It was possible to shoot in the hall. (Flash is useless) Revisited on April 2, 2022 A special exhibition was held by chance, The famous "wisdom, feelings, emotions" and "lakeside" It was on display. The permanent exhibition has also changed from the last time, The "nude woman" was great. It's free and you can take pictures Incredible quality.

About 10 minutes from JR Ueno station. It's fun to come through Ueno Park. I am very attracted to the scratch tiled appearance. A museum where the works of Western-style painter Kuroda Seiki are exhibited. Both the entrance and the hall are very nice ✨ It seems to be one of the museum trilogy designed by Shinichiro Okada. I wonder if Kuroda Seiki's masterpiece "Lakeside", which I couldn't meet this time, will be open to the public in a special room held several times a year. I'm totally ignorant, but "Maiko" is very impressive and unforgettable this time. Photography is OK except in the exhibition room. It is connected to the next cafe (Ueshima Coffee) inside. No admission fee. Completed in 1928. Designed by Shinichiro Okada. National registered tangible cultural property (2002). After renovation and seismic retrofitting, it was reopened in 2015.

[Father of modern Japanese painting and museum architecture in the early Showa period] I visited Ueno twice this week for the first time in a long time! The first thing I visited was A painter who left a great mark on modern Japanese art Also known as the father of modern Japanese painting Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924) It is "Kuroda Memorial Hall". Since it's a big deal, I made preparations and visited. The masterpiece is "Lakeside" "Wisdom, feelings, emotions" It was a little disappointing that these weren't on display now Until then unknown in Japan Kuroda's work that brought about the expression of outside light What I was able to see up close It was a very good experience. In the way of life of a great man "Study abroad in □□ country at the age of ◯" I was used to seeing A person who thought calmly and lived more than 100 years ago Beyond the sea at that time Learning abroad for years It ’s a tremendous challenge. I thought it was bleak. I will be back next month To go learn new skills "It takes 4 hours one way ?‍♀️ (But this teacher is good, so I'll go there !! ")" What I thought I felt how small a step it was. Lol Kuroda Seiki is one of them For the purpose of learning law at the age of 17 Study abroad in France Two years later, he turned to painting and He studied under Raphaël Collin, a French painter. The architecture of the Kuroda Memorial Hall ・ Old Kabukiza ・ Meiji Seimei Kan ・ Worked on Hatoyama Hall, etc. Designed by Shinichiro Okada. Built according to the will of Mr. Kuroda Seiki, It is valuable as a museum architecture in the early Showa period. It was designated as a national registered tangible cultural property in 2002 (Heisei 14). This time when "Lakeside" or "Knowledge / Feeling / Feeling" is on display I wanted to visit ?✨
