「暗闇の中でこそ主役になる月や星のように、夜の魅力をいま一度見直してみませんか。」

という言葉に惹かれて、中目黒のこの美術館を始めて訪れてみた。

それほど大きな美術館ではないが、日本画の専門美術館という珍しさにも興味を持ったのも事実だ。

やはり、夜の表現だと色として、黒は勿論、青が多くなるとは思ったが、思いの外、白や赤も使われることに気がついた。

日本画については、院展という定期的に開催される展示会をたまに見てきたが、なかなか奥深そうな分野だと感じた機会になった。

"Why don't you take a new look at the charm of the night, like the moon and stars, which play a leading role only in the darkness?"

This was my first visit to this museum in Nakameguro.

It is not a very large museum, but I was interested in the fact that it is a rare museum specializing in Japanese-style paintings.

I expected that black and blue would be the most common colors used to represent night, but I also noticed that white and red were used unexpectedly.

I have occasionally seen Japanese-style paintings at the Inten exhibition, which is held regularly, but this was an opportunity for me to learn more about this field, which seems to be quite profound.
