Description
| Why were supposedly frightening yokai depicted with such charm? This exhibition solves the mystery of yokai paintings, the last bastion of Japanese art history. The popular, caricatural, or caricatured expression of the yokai is a key to understanding the mystery of yokai paintings. and caricatural or caricatured expressions, they have not been However, in Japan, yokai paintings have long been a subject of interest for children and adults alike. In Japan, however, yokai art is a broad field that has been familiar to both children and adults since ancient times. It is also an important subject closely related to indigenous Japanese culture and religion, such as nature beliefs and local folklore. This project is an attempt to reexamine the genealogy of "yokai" paintings, which have not been discussed in the mainstream of art history, in order to explore the unique laughter and humor of Japanese art. This exhibition will provide an opportunity to reconsider the characteristic aspects of Japanese art, such as laughter and playfulness, which have not been discussed in the mainstream of art history. The caricatural and caricatured yokai paintings of the Manga [Vol. 2] series, which were overwhelmingly popular among the masses, are rich in caricature-like expression and are characterized by a sense of humor and playfulness. The caricatural and caricatured yokai paintings were a subculture of the Edo period that gained overwhelming support among the masses. This volume is full of yokai paintings (ukiyoe) by popular artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Kawanabe Gyosai, and many others. |

日本美術史の最後の砦、妖怪画のなぞを解く。その大衆性や、戯画的、
あるいは風刺的表現が見られることから、これまで美術史のなかで
なかなかテーマとしてとりあげられることがなかった「妖怪画」。
ところが、日本では古くから子供から大人までが親しんできた裾野の広い分野であり、
自然信仰や各地域の伝承といった日本固有の土着文化や宗教と密接に関わる重要な主題でもある。
本企画は、美術史のなかで本流としては語られてこなかった「妖怪画」の系譜をあらためて見直すことで、
日本美術の持っているある笑いや遊びといった特徴的な側面を再考の契機となる。
妖怪萬画［第2巻］絵師たちの競演編戯画的表現に富んで諷刺がきいた妖怪画は、
大衆たちに圧倒的な支持を得た、いわば江戸時代のサブカルチャー。
葛飾北斎や歌川国芳、河鍋暁斎を筆頭に、人気絵師がこぞって描いた妖怪画（浮世絵）を満載。
