風光舎、本日も梅雨らしい一日を過ごしております。

雨の日はおこもりがてら、美術の教養でも身につけてみようかと…

 

何度か当ブログネタで登場してもらっている、日本が誇るアーティスト・葛飾北斎。

その北斎の娘、実は北斎以上の天才絵師だったようなんです。

その存在、今まであまりスポットを当てられていなかったのでは？と思ったのですが、彼女を主人公にした漫画やアニメ、ドラマ、小説、ドキュメンタリー番組など数々の作品が作られていたのですね。

（娘さんがいただなんて、しかも三女！さらには息子も二人！よく知らなかったのはスタッフI だけ⁈  勉強不足、すみません汗）

 

その名前__葛飾応為（かつしかおうい）。

『吉原格子先之図』（太田記念美術館）や『夜桜美人図』（メナード美術館）の作者で、数年前から注目されている浮世絵師なんです。

応為については、本名は栄（えい）といい、北斎の娘だということ以外、確かな資料はほとんどないのだそう。

残っている作品は１０作程度で、その多くが肉筆美人画ということです。

（誇張した明暗法と細密描写に優れた肉筆画が残る。）

いずれもどんな目的で制作されたのか、注文品だったのか、注文主は誰なのか、何も明らかになっていないうようで…

生没年も、北斎亡き後もその消息は不明と言われているようです。

このミステリアス感を漂わせるあたり、天才と言われる要素を含んでいますね。

 

父・北斎の破天荒な生活や制作を支え続けながらも、中身は「おんな北斎」。

画号の”応為”とは、北斎が「おーい！」と呼びかけていたことからついたという説もあるそうなんです。

応為も一度は絵師のもとへ嫁ぎましたが、思ったことをすぐに口にしてしまうという父親ゆずりの性格で、夫の絵が自分よりもつたないことを指さして笑ったことから、三下り半を突き付けられる始末。

実家に出戻った応為は、北斎が息を引き取るその時まで面倒を見て、画業を助けたことが知られているようです。

着るものや食事にまるで頓着せず、部屋は散らかり放題だったという北斎は、作品だけでなく人物像もかなりアヴァンギャルドだったようなので、「おーい、よく言ったぞ、でかしたぞ！」くらいのことを言って、出戻り娘を迎えたのでしょうか⁇

晩年、妻を亡くした北斎と応為は、ふたりで２０年も生活を共にしたというので、馬が合ったのでしょう、さぞ楽しい毎日を送ったことと思います。

掃除当番なんて決めていないでしょうし、不規則な生活でも誰に小言を言われるわけでもない笑。

自由奔放、バンザーイ！くらいの好き勝手。

気の向くままに描き描き描き描き…

勝手に人のお宅の親子関係、生活ぶりを想像しちゃいます笑。

 

しかしまだまだ謎だらけの人物__その作品はもっと謎めいているようで…

その最たるものが『吉原格子先之図』ということですが、作者本人が解説したものが残っているわけでもないので、謎解きも想像の域を出ないとか。

これがまた面白く、美術品探索の醍醐味でしょう。

 

徳川幕府のもと繁栄を謳歌していた江戸という町。

それを体現するような、そして見る人を大変楽しませていたであろう、北斎の浮世絵。

そんな父・北斎をもうならせたという、美人画の名手は娘・応為の方だったようです。

＜北斎翁嘗人に語りて曰く、余の美人画は、阿栄におよばざるなり―＞

北斎が弟子の露木為一（いいつ）にこう語ったと、北斎研究の先駆者である美術史家・飯島虚心氏が著書『葛飾北斎伝』に記しています。

応為の作品は「美人画では敵わない」と父に言わせ、降参させたとういうことですね。

 

父の作品制作を手伝うほどの技量をもってたにもかかわらず、応為自身はほとんど評価されることなく、知られざる存在。

しかし間違いなく、世界を驚愕させるマルチな才能を持つ親子がいたのです。

その魅力、まだまだ深掘りできそうです！

 

 

Fukosha is having a rainy season today as well.

If it’s a rainy day, I’d like to learn about art education .

 

Hokusai Katsushika, a proud Japanese artist, has appeared on this blog several times.

It seems that Hokusai’s daughter was actually a genius painter more than Hokusai.

Isn’t that existence not so much spotlighted until now? I thought, but many works such as manga, anime, dramas, novels, and documentary programs with her as the main character were made.

(I didn’t know that she had a daughter, and she was the third daughter! And she had two sons! The only one I didn’t know well was Staff I⁈ Lack of study, sorry sweat)

 

Her name __ Katsushika Oi.

She is the author of “Yoshiwara Lattice Sakinozu” (Ota Memorial Museum) and “Night Cherry Blossom Beauty” (Menard Art Museum), and is an ukiyo-e artist who has been attracting attention for several years.

As for her response, she says her real name is Ei, and there are few reliable documents other than that she is Hokusai’s daughter.

There are about 10 works left by her, and most of them are hand-drawn beauty paintings.

(The exaggerated chiaroscuro and hand-drawn drawings with excellent detailed depiction remain.)

It seems that it is not clear what purpose they were made for, whether they were made to order, who the orderer was,

It is said that her birth and death years and her whereabouts are unknown even after Hokusai’s death.

It contains an element called a genius to give this mysterious feeling.

 

While continuing to support her father, Hokusai’s wild life and production, the content is “Onna Hokusai”.

It is said that there is a theory that Hokusai called “Hey!(Oi! in Japanese)” Because her picture number “Oi” came from.

She once married to a painter, but she pointed out that her husband’s painting was less than herself because of her father’s personality that she immediately said what she thought. Because she laughed, she was forced to go down three and a half.

It seems that she was known to have taken care of her and helped her painting work until Hokusai died.

Hokusai said that he didn’t care about what he wore and what he had to eat, and the room was all-you-can-eat. Did you say that and have a return daughter?⁇

Hokusai and Oi, who lost his wife in his later years, lived together for 20 years, so I think they had a good time with each other.

They haven’t decided on a cleaning duty, and even in an irregular life, no one can complain.

Bohemian, Banzai! I like it.

Draw, draw, draw as you like.

I can imagine the parent-child relationship and life style of a person’s house without permission.

 

However, a person full of mysteries __ The work seems to be more mysterious .

The best of these is the “Yoshiwara Lattice Sakinozu”, but since the one explained by the author himself is not left, it seems that solving the mystery is beyond imagination.

This is also interesting, and it will be the real pleasure of exploring art.

 

A town called Edo that enjoyed prosperity under the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Hokusai’s ukiyo-e that embodies it and would have been very entertaining to the viewer.

It seems that his daughter, Katsushika, was the master of bijin-ga, who said that he had made such a father, Hokusai.

<Speaking to Katsushika Hokusai, my beauty paintings must reach Aei->

Hokusai told his disciple Tsuyuki Iitsu, an art historian Kyoshin Iijima, a pioneer of Hokusai research, wrote in his book Katsushika Hokusaiden.

It means that her father told her that “Bijin-ga is not a match” for her work, and she gave up.

 

Despite having the skill to help her father’s work, Osamu himself is hardly evaluated and is an unknown existence.

But without a doubt, there were parents and children with multi-talented talent that would startle the world.

It seems that you can dig deeper into its charm!
