A walk photo slideshow. It's a little cool in the morning, so it's comfortable. We went to Ueno Park and entered the #National Museum to look around. We went to the #Trends of Japanese Art on the second floor of the main building. There are many children and students there during summer vacation. There are things that are prohibited from photography, and if you point your camera at them, a security guard will come running. We trace the history of Japanese art from the Jomon period (11,000 BC to the 5th century BC), when people began to settle in the Japanese archipelago, to the Edo period, when there were no major wars and townspeople culture flourished. We see ancient Japanese forms such as Jomon pottery and clay figurines, which are said to be the origin of Japanese art. In the mid-6th century, Buddhism was introduced to Japan from the Korean Peninsula, bringing about a major change in Japanese culture. During the Asuka and Nara periods (593-794), rich Buddhist art that incorporated continental styles flourished, and in the late Heian period (794-1192), people's aesthetic sense changed, and many fields produced classic works. Zen, which was introduced from China during the Kamakura period (1192-1333), when the samurai rose to power, had a major impact on subsequent Japanese culture, including ink painting and the tea ceremony. During the Kamakura period, a samurai government was established, and the samurai began to play a part in culture, giving birth to a new aesthetic sense. During the Edo period (1603-1868), a long period of peace continued, the economy developed, and the bearers of culture spread from samurai and aristocrats to townspeople, resulting in the creation of a wide variety of works based on everyday life. Not only were works displayed for viewing, but also kimonos, tableware, and other tools for daily life, as well as weapons, were beautifully displayed to enrich and color life. Japanese art was constantly influenced by foreign art, and was nurtured by the climate of the Japanese archipelago and the sensibilities of the people who lived there. Take a look around each room in order to see the Japanese aesthetic sense and the history of the diverse Japanese art. 1. The dawn of Japanese art, Jomon, Yayoi, Kofun, 1-2.

The art of the Ainu, who live mainly in Hokkaido and have a unique culture, and the art of the Ryukyus, which correspond to Okinawa Prefecture, are discussed in a different context from Japanese art history. However, since the 20th century, artists have produced works overseas and have been active widely across borders, so the above idea does not necessarily apply. Next, in terms of genre, Japanese art has a large presence of crafts along with painting and sculpture, and also includes fields such as metalwork, lacquerwork, dyeing and weaving, and ceramics. Swords and armor cannot be overlooked, and not only the exterior and props, but the blade itself is an object of aesthetic appreciation. As in China, calligraphy is also important, and there is a saying that "the three great arts of poetry, calligraphy, and painting" are expressed in one work, such as ink painting. In addition, architecture and gardens are also discussed. Japanese art has been greatly influenced by China and the Korean peninsula since ancient times, but there are also unique Japanese developments, such as the national culture of the Heian period. In the early modern period, missionaries visited Japan and Western art became known. In the Meiji period, modernization and Westernization became national goals, and foreigners taught in the art field, and some people studied in France, which was considered the home of art. While Western painting techniques were acquired, "Japanese painting" was born from a desire for tradition. Meanwhile, the decorativeness of Japanese art was noticed overseas, and Japonism became popular, inspiring Impressionism and Art Nouveau. Japanese art can also be considered the art of the Buddhist world, including India and China. With the exception of the Jomon period, it has always been influenced by foreign countries and developed its own style. It is not possible to consider Japanese art as something that developed autonomously in comparison with the art history of China or the Korean peninsula, but it is also not possible to consider Japanese art as a imitation of Chinese art. #Hyokeikan, the first full-scale art museum in Japan, was planned in 1900 to commemorate the marriage of the Crown Prince (Emperor Taisho) and opened in 1909. It was designed by Tokuma Katayama, a court architect who was a disciple of J. Conder and worked on the Togu Palace (State Guest House) and other buildings. It has beautiful dome roofs on the center and both sides, and the exterior walls of the upper floors feature reliefs with motifs of drafting tools, tools, musical instruments, etc. It was designated an Important Cultural Property in 1978 as a representative building of Western-style architecture in the late Meiji period. #Tokyo National Museum Main Building, opened in 1938 to commemorate the accession of Emperor Showa. Designed by Jin Watanabe. It is considered a representative building of the "Imperial Crown Style", which emphasizes the oriental style by placing a tile roof on a concrete building. It was designated an Important Cultural Property in 2001. Nikon Z6, 24-70mm lens used
