00:00This is Kyoto Travel, a journey you don't know about.
00:04This year, we will bring you a lot of the charm of Kyoto.
00:11In 2025, the first traveler will be this person.
00:17Now, everyone.
00:19If there is something that will definitely be a hot topic this year,
00:23it's this, isn't it?
00:27Sharaku, Utamaro, Hokusai.
00:30What this year's Taiga drama depicts is the world of Ukiyo-e,
00:35which has become a big boom in Edo from the middle to the late Edo period.
00:42The popular Ukiyo-es were produced by Hanmoto, Tsutaya, and Juzaburo.
00:49When Sharaku and Hokusai were a hot topic in Edo,
00:53what was going on in western Kyoto?
01:00At the same time as Sharaku and Hokusai,
01:03Ito Jakuchu and Maruyama Okyo were active in Kyoto.
01:10This time, we will approach the secret of the genius painters of Kyoto.
01:19Unexpected human relations that emerge from the place where they lived.
01:26There is definitely a chemical reaction.
01:29Everyone stimulates each other.
01:32What is the strong connection between the Gion Festival and the painters?
01:40There was a decisive difference between the painters of Kyoto and the Ukiyo-es of Edo, which were active at the same time.
01:50You can feel the greatness of Jakuchu and Okyo.
01:56Edo's Hokusai and Sharaku.
01:59Kyoto's Jakuchu and Okyo.
02:02Kyoto's Jakuchu and Okyo.
02:09A journey to Kyoto that you don't know.
02:12A story of 1,200 years.
02:18Hello, I'm Nakamura.
02:20I'm Sawada.
02:21Nice to meet you.
02:23Nice to meet you, too.
02:25I've been looking forward to today.
02:27I'm glad.
02:29The guide is a novelist who was born and raised in Kyoto, Mr. Touko Sawada.
02:36He has won numerous literary awards, including the Naoki Prize at the Hoshio Chite Nao.
02:42He has also written a novel with the theme of Ito Jakuchu.
02:48Mr. Masatoshi, are there any painters of the late Edo period who come to your mind?
02:55I don't think there are many.
02:58There are only two.
03:01For example, the famous Ito Jakuchu and Maruyama Okyo.
03:08That's about it.
03:10That's enough for today.
03:13Is that enough?
03:14Yes.
03:15First, I'd like to see a work by a painter who represents the Edo period.
03:22Let's go to a place where we can see various and unique works of painters who were active in Kyoto during the Edo period.
03:31This is Fukuda Art Museum.
03:34Is it here?
03:35Yes.
03:36I'm looking forward to it.
03:38Let's go in.
03:46Hello.
03:47Nice to meet you.
03:48Nice to meet you.
03:52We visited Fukuda Art Museum in Arashiyama, on the outskirts of Katsuragawa.
04:01There are about 2,000 works of Japanese painting in the museum.
04:09First, let's see a work by Ito Jakuchu.
04:12He was active in Kyoto from the mid-Edo period to the late period.
04:18Here it is.
04:19There are many works of Jakuchu.
04:21Yes.
04:22There are many works of Jakuchu.
04:25This time, I'd like you to look at the work in front of you.
04:40I've never seen such a real thing.
04:43Is that so?
04:46It's quite detailed, isn't it?
04:50Yes, it is.
04:53This is a picture of a turnip.
05:00The turnip and the pears in the turnip field are drawn precisely and vividly.
05:08This is a work of the early period, when Jakuchu was drawn in his thirties.
05:16As I said earlier, it is very vividly drawn.
05:21From the head to the neck, there is a pattern of white, white, black, white, black.
05:29There is a pattern of white, white, black, white, black until it reaches the root.
05:35The pattern is getting bigger little by little.
05:41Also, the expression of withered leaves.
05:44Jakuchu drew the same leaves as in his later works.
05:49This is a work of Jakuchu's early period,
05:53but I think it is a picture full of various elements of Jakuchu.
06:00He drew not only the wings of the chicken,
06:04but also the withered leaves in a detailed rock painting.
06:13It is a work that often shows the characteristics of Jakuchu, who pursued reality.
06:20What kind of person was Jakuchu?
06:30There are not many documents that show the personality of Jakuchu.
06:35However, if you think about it from the perspective of a picture,
06:40you can see that he was a very detailed person because he drew pictures that were as precise as his voice.
06:43That's right. I think he was very observant.
06:47This is a vegetable wholesale store called Aomono Toya.
06:52Is it a vegetable wholesale store?
06:57Next is a work of the famous painter Maruyama Okyo.
07:04This is the work.
07:06Is this it?
07:08But it's quite real and the use of color is also amazing.
07:13In the era when there were no pictures,
07:18he drew as if he were really there.
07:23The part of the head, the part under the eyes, and the part of the wings are also decorated with gold to make it look gorgeous.
07:33I see.
07:37This is a work by Okyo when he was 41 years old.
07:41On the background of the button is a picture of a crane standing on a rock.
07:53Okyo was a painter who drew the things in front of him precisely and was particular about the posture.
07:59He was active in Kyoto at the same time as Jakuchu and pursued realistic painting.
08:07However, there is a difference in their works.
08:14For example, when Jakuchu draws a button,
08:17he definitely draws a scene where the leaves are torn or withered.
08:22Okyo does not draw such a scene.
08:25He draws very beautiful things beautifully.
08:28That is a picture that does not break Okyo.
08:32I see.
08:34Okyo's paintings are beautiful no matter where they are displayed.
08:38I see.
08:42Okyo's feature is that he draws beautiful things more beautifully
08:47and draws the object in his mind closer to the ideal form.
08:58Here is another work that shows this.
09:02This is cute.
09:03This is cute.
09:04It is fluffy.
09:07In fact, tigers did not live in Japan.
09:12So, Okyo imitated a picture from the Korean Peninsula in China.
09:17And one more thing.
09:19This picture is referring to a cat.
09:23Because it is the same family.
09:25That's right.
09:26If you look at the black eye, it is broken vertically.
09:30It looks like a cat.
09:32However, the black eye of a real tiger is round.
09:37So, you can see that Okyo drew a picture looking at a cat.
09:43There is a cat in the picture.
09:45That's right.
09:46Fukujo Art Museum is a good place to take pictures.
09:51You should not say that.
09:54There are some works that you are not allowed to take pictures of.
09:58However, you can take pictures of all the works from the Edo period.
10:02Is that so?
10:03Yes, you can.
10:04Can I?
10:05Yes, please.
10:08This mask is big.
10:12Let me see the side.
10:14This is quite realistic.
10:18I will show you my work at the end of the program.
10:23Please look forward to it.
10:27Yosa Busson, also known as a painter, was active in Kyoto at the same time.
10:33He is a person who established painting by drawing a picture that matches the background.
10:39This is a picture of a haiku that Busson read when he visited Arashiyama.
10:48This is a picture of flowers of Ikada City, Mino and Arashi.
10:54This is a picture of a haiku and a picture of the moment when cherry blossoms fell on Mino,
10:59who was lost in Ikada.
11:01This is a picture of a picture of a picture of the moment when cherry blossoms fell on Mino,
11:06who was lost in Ikada.
11:14This is a picture of a picture of a pond, which was also active in Kyoto at the same time.
11:21This is a picture of a picture of a gardener, who has roots in Chinese watercolor painting.
11:26It is said that he drew a picture while traveling all over Japan.
11:31This is a picture of a picture of a gardener, who has roots in Chinese watercolor painting.
11:36When I think about it, I feel that there were many painters in the same place in the later period of the Edo period.
11:42When I think about it, I feel that there were many painters in the same place in the later period of the Edo period.
11:48In the capital of Kyoto in the 18th century,
11:52almost the same generation of painters had a rich talent for individuality.
11:58In the capital of Kyoto in the 18th century,
12:03almost the same generation of painters had a rich talent for individuality.
12:08In the capital of Kyoto in the 18th century,
12:13the painters who were active at that time were
12:18Toshusai Sharaku, Katsushika Hokusai, Kitagawa Utamaro, and so on.
12:23In the Edo period, the so-called Ukiyo-e, which depicted the faces of Kabuki actors and the scenery of Mt. Fuji, was popular.
12:28In the Edo period, the so-called Ukiyo-e, which depicted the faces of Kabuki actors and the scenery of Mt. Fuji, was popular.
12:33That is like a painting, isn't it?
12:37Yes, it is.
12:39In fact, Ukiyo-e is a painting of mass production.
12:43Sharaku and Hokusai were very popular with the general public.
12:48Sharaku and Hokusai were very popular with the general public.
12:51The great producer who printed various works based on the mass production of Ukiyo-e was
12:58the so-called Tsutaya Juzaburo.
13:01So, the painters of the Edo period in which he lived were
13:04working with Tsutaya in a large-scale relationship.
13:09However, the painters of Kyoto were working individually,
13:14so there was no such producer.
13:18The works themselves are one-of-a-kind, aren't they?
13:21Yes, they are.
13:22It is completely different from the way of selling Edo,
13:25which sells a lot and sells a lot.
13:27I see.
13:30The painters of the Edo period mainly sent the works of Hanna to the world
13:34under the producer, Tsutaya Juzaburo.
13:40On the other hand, the painters of Kyoto were working independently.
13:47That's why various styles of painting were born.
13:55Mr. Sawada says that the background of the period is related to it.
14:01In the Edo period, around 150 or 200 years after the beginning of the Baku era,
14:08the culture itself became very weak and became peaceful.
14:13However, the Edo period was a little far away from the Edo period,
14:18which was the time when the painters of Kyoto could work freely.
14:25I see.
14:27Next, we went to a place where we could see the special relationship
14:31between the painters of Kyoto who lived in the same period.
14:37We visited Nishiki Ichiba Shoten-gai,
14:40which has a history of 400 years,
14:44which is also called the Daidokoro of Kyoto.
14:55This is the center of Kyoto.
15:01Do you often come here?
15:04Yes, I do.
15:06If there is a shop I want to go to, I go there and come back quickly.
15:17Mr. Sawada has a shop he is familiar with.
15:20He decided to stop by before exploring the relationship between the painters.
15:25I'd like to visit this shop.
15:29Is it here?
15:30Yes.
15:31It says Yuba.
15:32Yes, it's a Yuba shop.
15:33Oh, I see.
15:38Can I come in?
15:39Yes, please.
15:43What kind of shop is this?
15:46I know it's a Yuba shop.
15:48I was a babysitter when I was a baby.
15:54It's a long way to go back.
15:56It's been 40 years.
16:00We were guided to a Yuba specialty store with a history of more than 200 years, called Yuba-kichi.
16:09Mr. Sawada's mother is the painter Fujiko Sawada.
16:13Mr. Ochi took care of Mr. Sawada when he was young in place of his busy mother.
16:21I'm proud of you.
16:22Yes, I am.
16:23When I was young, I didn't think I could be so great.
16:29But now, I can handle Mr. Sawada very well.
16:31Oh, really?
16:32He's a busy woman.
16:33Mr. Sawada did a lot of things half a century ago.
16:37It's freshly made.
16:39It's freshly made?
16:42It's steaming.
16:43It's freshly made.
16:46Thank you for it.
16:47Thank you for it.
16:49Oh!
16:52It's gentle and delicious.
16:54It's just soybeans.
17:00What I'm curious about is how Mr. Sawada grew up.
17:08He wasn't such a rampaging girl.
17:12Yes, he was.
17:13He was a good boy.
17:14He was a good boy.
17:15Yes.
17:16We often went for a walk together.
17:20Yes, we did.
17:21At first, we even played hide-and-seek.
17:26I can't imagine that.
17:28Yes, we did.
17:30At that time, did you like Mr. Sawada's work?
17:35Maybe I did.
17:38I think I had that feeling.
17:41Do you feel influenced by your parents that you became who you are now?
17:48It's true that I was a novelist in my career.
17:52I see.
17:53Normally, people don't know that.
17:55I see.
17:57Let's talk about Jack-Q instead of me.
18:03Thank you for coming.
18:04Thank you for coming.
18:06I feel strange when I say goodbye to them.
18:11Yes.
18:12It's like, see you again.
18:16In fact, there is a place that is closely related to Jack-Q at the west end of Nishikiichiba shopping street.
18:25Our destination is here.
18:28At the corner of this street, there is a shop called Aomono-donya.
18:33I see.
18:38Jack-Q was born as the eldest son of Aomono-donya in 1716, half of the Edo period.
18:43He was a vegetable grower at Nishikiichiba.
18:49The house was located near the entrance of the west side of the shopping street.
18:55It is said that it was a very big house.
18:59It was born in a bustling place.
19:01Yes.
19:02It is the fourth generation of Jack-Q, which is very old as a shop.
19:07Jack-Q went on the road of painting, so his younger brother followed him.
19:12After that, there was a shop until the end of the period.
19:15Jack-Q was born and raised in Aomono-donya.
19:18There is a unique work of Jack-Q.
19:24This is a work of Jack-Q, which was discovered in Europe last year and became a hot topic.
19:29It is a virtual painting.
19:31About 50 kinds of vegetables and fruits are painted vividly over 3 meters.
19:39The leaves and ripe fruits, which look like they have withered, are unique to Jack-Q.
19:45It makes people feel the reality.
19:51The work of Jack-Q is a work of art.
19:54It is a work of art that shows the reality of life.
19:58The work of Jack-Q is a work of art that shows the reality of life.
20:03The work of Jack-Q is a work of art that shows the reality of life.
20:12Now we are at the Nishiki market, where the work of Jack-Q is sold.
20:17I would like to show you another place from here.
20:21What is there?
20:22It is a secret.
20:23Is it a secret? I see.
20:25It is right there.
20:28What is there?
20:30It takes only 3 minutes to walk to the destination.
20:36We have arrived in front of us.
20:38Is it near here?
20:39Yes.
20:44I just remembered.
20:46This is Maruyama Okyo Taku.
20:52Isn't it here?
20:54Yes.
20:55It was your neighborhood, wasn't it?
20:57It is very close to my neighborhood.
20:59I see.
21:01We were guided to a place where Maruyama Okyo lived.
21:08It is only 200 meters away from the birthplace of Jack-Q.
21:15You can see that Jack-Q and Okyo-san are neighbors.
21:19If you go a little further from here, you can see Ryosaku-san.
21:22Ryosaku-san?
21:23Yes.
21:24You can see it from here.
21:26Really.
21:27We went to Jack-Q and Okyo-san's house.
21:31If you go a little further west, you can see Busson.
21:34Busson?
21:35It takes about 10 minutes from here.
21:38It is very close, isn't it?
21:39Yes, it is close.
21:41If you go to the east, you can see Taiga-san.
21:44That's right.
21:45They are neighbors.
21:48Jack-Q, Okyo-san, Busson and Taiga-san.
21:52They all look familiar.
21:55I think so.
21:56They must have had a lot in common.
22:01Jack-Q, Okyo-san, Busson and Taiga-san.
22:05They all lived in a place where they could walk in the same era.
22:10I see.
22:11Why is their address so clear?
22:16Why is their house so specific?
22:20Wait a minute.
22:22What?
22:23I'm sorry, but why?
22:25Actually, there was a list of addresses of famous people in Kyoto at that time.
22:31No way.
22:32In a book called Heian Jinbutsu-shi,
22:35there are names of famous painters and famous doctors.
22:43Wait a minute.
22:44It's like a comedy show in the 1970s.
22:48Is that so?
22:49There are even addresses and phone numbers.
22:52I didn't know that.
22:55Heian Jinbutsu-shi lists the names and addresses of famous people in Kyoto
22:59who were active in the middle and late Edo period,
23:03including scholars, doctors, and writers.
23:10It is a proof that they are recognized as first-class cultured people.
23:18This is a book called Heian Jinbutsu-shi.
23:22Here it is.
23:24The first one is the name of Mr. Tō Ōkyo.
23:28I see.
23:29His house is called Shijo-fuyacho-machi-nishi-e-jiru.
23:34It's hard to find his personal information now.
23:38That's right.
23:39The next address is written as Jukin.
23:42This is Jaku-chū.
23:44It's written as Takakura-nishiki-kōji-agaru.
23:47It's the same address as before.
23:48Yes.
23:50The address of Ōkyo and Jaku-chū is written as Ike-no-tai-ga-yosa-buson.
23:57The Heian Jinbutsu-shi lists the names and addresses of famous people in Kyoto
24:01who were active in the middle and late Edo period,
24:04including scholars, doctors, and writers.
24:08I'm sure you all know that the scholars in Kyoto lived in Shijo area.
24:14But they were all born and raised separately.
24:17I see.
24:18Are they all not from Kyoto?
24:20No, they are not.
24:21Jaku-chū are from Rakuchū-jin area.
24:23Taiga is from Kitano-hōza area in Kyoto.
24:27Ōkyo is from Kameoka area in the north.
24:31It's a little far from here.
24:32That's right.
24:33Buson is from Osaka area.
24:36They all came to Kyoto with different backgrounds.
24:40It's a miracle that they came to Kyoto at the same time.
24:44That's a miracle.
24:46Even though they were from the same area,
24:49they were all living in the same area.
24:53I'm sure there must have been some kind of chemical reaction.
24:57They must have stimulated each other.
25:00That's right.
25:02So, what about Edo?
25:05How were the scholars in Edo?
25:08First of all, Edo is bigger than Kyoto.
25:12I see.
25:13For example, Sharaku lived in Hacchōbori area.
25:17It's in the center of Kyoto now.
25:19Hokusai moved to Kyoto very quickly.
25:23He didn't want to live there.
25:27Utamaro lived in Bunkyō-ku or Taitō-ku area.
25:33It's close to Kyoto.
25:36No, it's not.
25:37I see.
25:39I think Kyoto was more close to Kyoto.
25:45I think so, too.
25:47Mr. Sawada thinks that there was a unique environment
25:51where great artists grew up in Kyoto.
25:57I'm from Kyoto.
25:59People in Kyoto have different abilities.
26:03There are many great artists in Kyoto.
26:06Some of them have been here for a long time.
26:09I think Kyoto is like a children's garden.
26:16There is a difference in ability between Kyoto and Kyoto.
26:23I think that is related to their relationship with Edo.
26:29You can see that great artists were deeply involved with the people of the city.
26:39We visited a place about 15 minutes walk from the market area where the artists lived.
26:48What is waiting for us?
26:52It may be a surprising point.
26:55I see.
26:59Excuse me.
27:01Hello.
27:03Nice to meet you.
27:04May I come in?
27:05Yes, please.
27:10This is one of the mountains in the Gion Festival.
27:14It's a place to preserve Hōshō-yama.
27:18There are more than 30 mountains.
27:22Is this one of them?
27:23Yes, it is.
27:25Hōshō-yama is one of the 34 mountains in the Gion Festival.
27:31What does it have to do with artists?
27:36There is something very important and irreplaceable for us to preserve Hōshō-yama.
27:43Please take a look at it.
27:47What does it have to do with artists of the city?
27:55Please take a look at this.
28:17Shara-ku, Hokusai-shi, Edo
28:21Shara-ku, Hokusai-shi, Edo
28:24The king's residence in Kyoto.
28:28What does it have to do with artists of the city?
28:37Please take a look at this.
28:41Please wait a moment.
28:44You showed us this painting.
28:47This is a painting of one of the artists, right?
28:51That's right.
28:52Is this Maruyama-san?
28:54Yes.
28:55Is this Maruyama-san?
28:56Yes, it is.
28:57It's a painting of Maruyama-san.
29:00It's very detailed, isn't it?
29:04It's very detailed, isn't it?
29:08It's very detailed, isn't it?
29:15The king's residence is known for its orthodox painting style.
29:19Chinese style painting is also very good.
29:23Chinese style painting is also very good.
29:28These paintings were painted for the king when he was 40 years old.
29:33These paintings were painted for the king when he was 40 years old.
29:43Each painting has a story from ancient China and ancient times.
29:51Houshou Mountain
29:56Houshou Mountain is a historical mountain pass that has been in circulation since before the reign of the king.
30:07The origin of the name comes from Yasumasa Hirai, a nobleman who fell in love with Shikibu Izumi.
30:20The decoration of the mountain pass is based on the front and the left and right sides.
30:27The decoration of the mountain pass is based on the front and the left and right sides.
30:34I think it's easy to understand that Maruyama-san painted this for the king.
30:45Yes, he received a lot of jobs from various people.
30:50He received a lot of jobs from various people.
30:58After the reign of the king, the Gion Matsuri was restored.
31:03At that time, each painter asked the best painter for the decoration of the mountain pass.
31:11At that time, people from Houshou Mountain asked the best painter for the decoration of the mountain pass.
31:19At that time, people from Houshou Mountain asked the best painter for the decoration of the mountain pass.
31:24It's the best order.
31:26It's the best order.
31:28Are there any other people who draw Gion Matsuri besides Maruyama?
31:34For example, Busson also drew Gion Matsuri.
31:39And there is a painter called Ishida Yuutei who is a teacher of the king.
31:43He also drew the body of Gion Matsuri.
31:49Gion Matsuri is a very important event for Kyoto people.
31:56Gion Matsuri is a very important event for Kyoto people.
31:59It's about 15 minutes walk from Houshou Mountain to the king's house.
32:05It's like a neighbor's uncle.
32:08It's like a neighbor's uncle.
32:11I think there was a person who asked the best painter for the decoration of the mountain pass.
32:18I think it's easy to understand the relationship between the decoration of the mountain pass and them.
32:29In his later years, he was the king of the United States.
32:34He painted for the people of Kyoto.
32:37He made a living by selling rice.
32:43The painters of Kyoto were painting for the people of Kyoto.
32:50It's hard to protect the tradition.
32:53But it was wonderful.
32:55I'm glad to know that the painters of Kyoto were painting for the people of Kyoto.
33:01I'm glad to know that.
33:02But that's not all.
33:05What do you mean?
33:06I'd like to go to a place where I can understand that.
33:10What is that place?
33:12It's a temple called Myohoin.
33:15Can I check it out?
33:18Yes, please.
33:21This is Myohoin.
33:23Yes, this is Myohoin.
33:26This is Myohoin.
33:32It takes 9 minutes to get there.
33:34It takes 9 minutes to get there.
33:38It takes about 9 minutes by car from Houshou Mountain Preservation Society.
33:43Myohoin is a temple in Tendai Prefecture that dates back to the beginning of the Heian period.
33:51Here, you can see another side of the painters of Kyoto who were loved by the people of Kyoto.
34:00This is the painting of Mr. Okyo that you wanted to see.
34:06Maruyama?
34:07Yes.
34:08It's a painting called Hatozu.
34:12Is this a wave?
34:13Yes, it is.
34:14It's also called Menamizu-byobu.
34:19It's a six-pillar, one-layer-byobu.
34:24Hatozu is thought to be the work of Mr. Okyo.
34:29It's a wave of biwako drawn in ink.
34:36On the left is a rough, bamboo-like wave, called Onami.
34:43On the right is a calm, quiet wave, called Menami.
34:54Maruyama-ha is his specialty.
34:57It's a portrait.
34:58It's drawn as if he were drawing his own mother.
35:05If you look at the end, you'll see the signature of Mr. Okyo.
35:09It's a rakkan.
35:11It's true.
35:14Is this your first time?
35:16Yes, it is.
35:17It's actually my first time here.
35:21It's not just ink.
35:23It's like a biwako.
35:25You can see the blue of the water.
35:32On the left, you can see the roughness of Onami.
35:41You can see the various faces of Onami in this byobu.
35:51Why is the portrait of Maruyama Okyo in the Myoho-in Temple?
36:04The Myoho-in Temple is a high-ranking monastic temple.
36:15While Mr. Okyo was still alive,
36:18a monk from the temple, Shinrin Hoshin-no,
36:24learned how to draw from Mr. Okyo.
36:31Shinrin Hoshin-no, a monk from a high-ranking family,
36:35was the older brother of the late emperor.
36:39It is said that he was passionate about art.
36:45Shinrin Hoshin-no's art teacher is Maruyama Okyo.
36:54It is no wonder that Okyo's portrait is in the Myoho-in Temple.
37:06It is also recorded that Shinrin Hoshin-no asked a certain artist other than Okyo for a portrait.
37:14What did the artist do?
37:16In the 7th year of the Meiji Restoration,
37:19which is close to the end of Mr. Okyo's reign,
37:23when Shinrin Hoshin-no made a new Goten,
37:26Okyo drew a draft, and Okyo drew the portrait on his way to the temple.
37:33So the relationship between the two was established.
37:39The Myoho-in Temple played a patron role in supporting the artists of Kyoto.
37:46It was not just a religious facility, but a place to support the culture.
37:53The painters of the capital were in close contact with the nobles.
37:59In the Myoho-in Temple, not only painters,
38:03but also artists, scholars, and many other people of expression and culture gathered.
38:08It was a so-called cultural salon of the capital.
38:13We talked earlier about the relationship between Okyo and Shinrin Hoshin-no.
38:20Recently, we found this painting.
38:24What's interesting about history is that new discoveries keep coming out.
38:30What is the great discovery of the century that shows the relationship between Okyo and Shinrin Hoshin-no?
38:39Sharaku, Hokusai, Edo.
38:42Okyo, Shinrin Hoshin-no.
38:48What is the great discovery of the century that shows the relationship between Okyo and Shinrin Hoshin-no?
38:55Recently, we found this painting.
39:01This is the painting of the Myoho-in Temple.
39:04The painting on the left is the painting of Okyo, and the painting on the right is the painting of Shinrin Hoshin-no.
39:08It is said to be a collaboration of the two.
39:11It was published in October last year and became a hot topic.
39:16What is the great discovery of the century that shows the relationship between Okyo and Shinrin Hoshin-no?

39:46It is a painting of a decoration of the Yamahoko, which is essential for the Gion Festival.
39:55The painter of Kyoto was loved and supported by all the people living in this town.
40:04What is the relationship between Okyo and Shinrin Hoshin-no?
40:09The paintings of Hokusai and Sharaku are for the general public.
40:15The high-ranking people might have enjoyed it,
40:18but there is no official painting for them.
40:23I see.
40:24It is only for the general public.
40:28Of course, there were some high-ranking people,
40:33but it is not as common as Kyoto.
40:37That is a big difference.
40:40For example, the painting of Matsu-no-Rouka in Edo Castle was painted by Kano-ha of the Bakufu-Okakai.
40:48Ukiyo-e of the town had never painted it.
40:53When I think about it, I feel the great difference between Okyo and Shinrin Hoshin-no.
40:59Yes.
41:00From the common people to Okugei-san, Tenno, Nichikai, Katagata,
41:04people from all over the world have painted it.
41:07I see.
41:10There are other works of Okyo,
41:12who is a famous painter of the Fudan Hikoukai.
41:18This is Ichinoma.
41:20Yes.
41:21In Ichinoma, there is a painting of Yukimatsu-zu by Maruyama Okyo.
41:30Ichinoma is a private room of Shinrin Hoshin-no.
41:36In Fusuma, snow piled up in pine trees is painted only in the corner.
41:48It is a masterpiece of Hikoukai,
41:51but it is planned to be released to the public to be seen by many people.
41:58In Ninoma next to it,
42:00you can see further work of Okyo.
42:04This is Ninoma.
42:07This is also a painting of Sumie.
42:10This painter is Genki.
42:13Genki?
42:14Yes.
42:15From Okyo's point of view,
42:17he is a famous painter who can be said to be the best.
42:21In Fusuma,
42:23there is a painting of Kachou Sansui-zu by Genki,
42:27a disciple of Okyo.
42:29Genki is a painter who inherits Okyo's painting style.
42:36And in San-no-ma...
42:38There is a slight change.
42:40Yes.
42:41This is also a work of Okyo's disciple,
42:45Nagasawa Rosetsu.
42:47This is a painting of plum.
42:49It is a painting called Bokubai-zu.
42:53Rosetsu is a painter who gained popularity
42:56with his unique style of painting,
42:59a strange outfit and bold composition.
43:08Among the painters of the capital,
43:11Okyo Maruyama has many disciples.
43:14This is a big achievement.
43:18After he passed away,
43:20there was a painting called Maruyama-ha.
43:23Then, there was a painting called Hijo-ha.
43:26This continued for a long time.
43:29When the Meiji period came,
43:31the Western painting came in.
43:33It was very in harmony with Western painting.
43:36So, mixing Western painting and good things,
43:39it became a modern Japanese painting.
43:42So, it has been up to this day?
43:45Yes.
43:47Maruyama Okyo raised many disciples.
43:50What is the gene that continues to this day?
43:59Sharaku, the northern festival of Edo.
44:02Okyo, the weak point of Kyoto.
44:07Maruyama Okyo raised many disciples.
44:11Maruyama Okyo raised many disciples.
44:14What is the gene that continues to this day?
44:18There was a painter called Kono Bairei
44:20who was influenced by Maruyama Hijo-ha in Kyoto.
44:24Kono Bairei is a painter from Kyoto
44:27who played an active role from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period.
44:31In the 13th year of the Meiji period,
44:34Kono Bairei established the first public art school,
44:37the Kyoto Prefectural Art School.
44:41This school remains as Kyoto Private Art University.
44:46Isn't it a great trend?
44:48Yes, it is.
44:51Kyoto Private Art University was established 145 years ago this year.
44:58It sent many painters representing Japan to the world.
45:05Among them, there is a painter who drew the gene of Maruyama Okyo.
45:12The feelings of the painters of the Edo period are still inherited.
45:21What is the basic difference between the painters of Edo and Kyoto?
45:26What is the basic difference between the painters of Edo and Kyoto?
45:29Well, Edo was under the control of the government,
45:32and Kyoto had a relatively high degree of freedom,
45:36focusing on the public arts.
45:40The main focus of the painters of the Edo period was painting.
45:46Kyoto was a place where the painters of the Edo period
45:51and the producers of the Edo period were involved.
45:57I see.
45:59There were many things I didn't know about Kyoto,
46:02but I enjoyed the joy of learning.
46:06Did you enjoy it?
46:07Yes, I did.
46:09Here is the best shot we took on this trip.
