浮世絵に見る新版画（スティーブ・ジョッブスが愛した世界）
浮世絵は江戸時代の庶民の生活や文化が描かれた絵画で、役者絵や美人画、又は風景画で多くは木版画。有名な浮世絵師としては歌麿、北斎、広重などが知られています。絵師、彫師、摺師によって完成される日本の誇れる芸術の一つです。
今回の展示は、新版画と呼ばれるもので’明治以降に伝統的な木版画の技術を受け継ぎつつ近代的な感覚を取り入れて制作された作品を集めています。世界中の人からも愛され、ステーヴ・ジョッブスやダイアナ妃も作品を身近に置いていました。
展示品はすべて高宮の小児科医・藤関義樹さん所蔵で、多くの中から今回のために選んでくださった作品ばかり。藤関さんの貴重なコレクションを鑑賞できる機会は滅多にありません。素晴らしい新版画の世界をゆっくり楽しんでください。

Ukiyo-e is a Japanese traditional painting which described the life of common people and culture in Edo period. Many are portraits of Kabuki actors, beautiful women and famous scenery. Ukiyo-e were mostly made from woodblock prints, and Utamaro, Hokusai and Hiroshige are famous as famous ukiyo-e artists. It is one type of art that Japan is most proud of, and which is completed by a painter, carver and woodblock printer person.
This time, we exhibited shin-hanga (new prints) . The printing method was taken over from traditional Ukiyo-e and added a more modern scene after the Meiji era. Not only Japanese people but the people from all over the world loved shin-hanga. For example, Steve Jobs and Princess Diana collected some of them.
All exhibits were the collection of Dr. Yoshiki Fujiseki, Takamiya resident. He chose some for this exhibition from his collection, and it would be a very special occasion to appreciate his shin-hanga. We hope you will enjoy his beautiful shin-hanga collections.
