- Notes
- 亜欧堂田善（またはその門人）が手がけた多くの銅版画の中で、もっとも人気を博したシリーズが、これらの小形江戸名所図です。北斎などの浮世絵風景版画の構図や上方の小型銅版画の流行に影響を与えた点でも重要な作品群です。田善の基準作『青蔭集』挿図にも通じる写実性と抽象化が同居する、緩急のメリハリの利いた表現が特徴です。現在25種類の図柄が確認されていて、そのうち神戸市立博物館は19種を所蔵しています。<br/><BR/>現在の東京都港区に愛宕山という小高い山があります。今は樹木が鬱蒼と茂っていて、東京の街を一望できませんが、200年前はここが、神戸の諏訪山公園のような場所でした。本来は２枚一組で愛宕山から見下ろす江戸の街並みをパノラマ風に描く作品で、本図はその右半分の風景となります。画面左には江戸湾と高輪から芝にかけての街並みがわずかに垣間見えますが、画面上部に記された説明書きから、田善はここから見下ろせる建物のひとつひとつまで細かく観察していたことがわかります。<BR/> <br/><br/>【江戸の絵画】Among the many copperplate prints produced by Aoudo Tazen (or his students), the most popular series were these small Edo Meisho Zu (Edo Famous Places). These works are also important in that they influenced the composition of ukiyoe landscape prints by Hokusai and others, as well as the popularity of small copperplate engravings in the Kamigata region. They are characterized by a combination of realism and abstraction that is similar to the illustrations in Denzen's standard work "Seikage-shu" (Blue Shade Collection). Currently, 25 types of designs have been identified, of which 19 are in the collection of the Kobe City Museum. <BR/><BR/>There is a small mountain called Mt. Nowadays, the mountain is so thickly overgrown with trees that one cannot see the entire city of Tokyo, but 200 years ago, this was a place like Suwayama Park in Kobe. Originally, this work was a set of two panoramic views of the city of Edo looking down from Mt. The left half of the painting shows only a glimpse of Edo Bay and the Takanawa-Shiba area, but the description at the top of the painting indicates that Denizen observed each building in detail from this vantage point. <BR/> <BR/><BR/>[Edo Paintings
