国宝手鑑「見努世友」と古筆の美（出光美術館） National treasure "Mineyonotomo" and old Calligraphy (Idemitsu Museum of Art)

 

新型コロナの影響で、およそ2年の間、展覧会が行われなかった出光美術館での久しぶりの展覧会。

再開後の最初の展覧会は、修復が終わったという国宝の手鑑「見努世友」を大々的に公開するという贅沢な内容だった。

手鑑「見努世友」はこれまでもこの美術館で開催された書に関する展覧会で、いくつかのページが断片的に紹介される程度だった。

それが一気に広げられて展示されている様子は、それは壮観なものだった。

後半の展示は、休館前に行われていた茶道具の展覧会の内容を再構成したもので、それらを見ていくうちに、休館中の時間を取り戻しているような気分になった。

This is the first exhibition in a long time at the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, which has not been held for about two years due to the influence of the new Corona.

The first exhibition after the reopening was a luxurious exhibition of the national treasure tekagami "Mineyonotomo", which was said to have been restored.

The tekagami "Mineyonotomo" has been an exhibition about books held at this museum, and only a few pages were introduced in fragments.

It was spectacular to see it spread out and exhibited at once.

The second half of the exhibition was a reconstruction of the contents of the tea utensils exhibition that was held before the museum was closed, and as I looked at them, I felt like I was regaining the time when the museum was closed.
