On Feb.01, 2025, the 33rd issue of “ARTIS” (bimonthly), a periodical booklet on culture and art, will be published.
On February 1, the 33rd issue of “ARTIS” (Latin for “art”), which introduces our gallery’s collection from various perspectives and has been well received by our readers, will be published. This issue, titled “Seinaru mono e (Toward the Sacred),” will explore the sacredness manifested in art. In an interview with the director Shigyo Sosyu, he narrates extensively about the historical transition of the “sacred” and new art forms for the future.
The opening painting, “Ao Fuji (Blue Fuji),” by Ms. Matsui Yuka, explores the mystery and depth hidden in the work.
In [My Eyes] corner, which features contributions from visitors to the museum, aesthetician Mr. Hirai Michiyuki has contributed a poetic art criticism essay exploring knowledge and beauty, in response to a photograph by Mr. Tachihara Sei. We hope you will take a look at it.
At Shigyo Sosyu Collection/ Memorial Gallery of Toshima Yasumasa, exhibition “Sword and Flower” exhibition (~Mar. 22, 2025), which has been visited by many visitors, continues to be on view. Every month, the exhibited works without glass cases will be replaced, so we hope you will enjoy the different works. The exhibition features swords by Gassan Sadatoshi of the Gassan family of swordsmiths, calligraphy and paintings by Yamaoka Tesshu and Yasuda Yukihiko, and other works that represent the soul of Bushido and the way of life as sublimely as “flowers”.
