A hanging scroll handwritten by Kondo Isami (1834-68), the Commander of the Shinsengumi who was active in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period, has been found in Kyoto. It is believed to be a Chinese poem on the theme of "heroism," written by Kondo as a token of gratitude when he borrowed money from wealthy merchants to raise funds for his activities. Only a few hanging scrolls in Kondo's handwriting have been found, and it is said to be a valuable discovery to understand who Kondo was as a person.
The hanging scroll is 196 cm long and 63 cm wide (the calligraphy is 136 cm long and 60 cm wide). An art dealer in the city had acquired the scroll in Osaka in 2008, and this month, a doctor in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, had purchased it. It was taken to the Ryozen History Museum (Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto), a history museum focusing on the Bakumatsu era, where Kimura Sachihiko, head curator of Bakumatsu history, determined that the calligraphy was authentic based on the handwriting and signature.
Although the details of the calligraphy have not yet been clarified, it expresses the feelings of a "hero" and is signed "Swordsman, Kondo.
According to Kimura, the calligraphy is similar in form to a hanging scroll (owned by the Tokyo National Museum) written around 1863, the same year Kondo and his men arrived in Kyoto from the Kanto region. It is believed to be from the same period. In the same year, Kondo and the others were given the name "Shinsengumi" in recognition of their military service, and they were engaged in cracking down on the militant fighters of the anti-shogunate movement. They sometimes forcefully borrowed money from wealthy merchants in Osaka and Kyoto and left behind such writings.
Kimura said, "There is no doubt that Kondo liked the calligraphy of Rai Sanyo, a scholar of Chinese classics, and imitated him. It shows Kondo's enthusiasm at that time when he became a samurai, which he had longed to become.

Come right here for lunch to try the set menus, which get you a substantial quantity of food and prime out at $23. The finest deal right here is the soba set menu, the place for $12.50 you will get soba with a primary dish, similar to grilled fish or chirashi . Pike/Pine izakaya Suika spun off this extra cavernous sibling up the street, serving the same masterful mashup of Japanese ingesting food. A sashimi sampler is served on a tiny wood staircase, the dan dan noodles are gorgeous in both seems and flavor, and sizzling hot stones serve as tabletop grills for skinny slices of wagyu beef.

宮原さんの作品展示されてるとの事で県民ギャラリー来ました。 何と作家さんとツーショット!✨✨✨ 色々ありがとうございました。 宮原さんオススメで熊野高等学校の卒業作品展見せて頂いたら、学生さんのお話が楽し過ぎて、長居してしまいました。(^-^;) たった3年間の間にとても素晴らしい作品を作られていて感動しました。 私も明日から真面目に働こう!(笑) 。。。今までも真面目に働いてるつもりです💦 #広島県立美術館 #art #芸術 #新協美術会 #宮原千恵 #フィルター加工あり #熊野高等学校 (Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8dXWjsBoxj/?igshid=40uqi7snb3pu

Shinshoji temple Zen Museum and Gardens Shinshoji Zen Museum and Gardens is a place for visitors to experience the spirit of Zen through a variety of activities, like tasting a bowl of tea, appreciating a piece of Zen calligraphy, eating a Zen meal that nurtures the body and soul, taking a bath to cleanse the mind and body, and strolling in the extensive gardens. The vast campus is dotted with interesting architecture, including a hall built in the 17th century that was relocated from Shiga Prefecture, reproduced teahouses originally designed by tea master Sen no Rikyu, and the temple’s own office building, which was designed by renowned architect and architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori using pine, a local tree that symbolizes the Sanyodo and Setouchi regions. Linking these buildings are tasteful Zen gardens. A must-see at the museum is one of Japan’s largest collections of Zen paintings and calligraphies by Zen master Hakuin. Shogondo, the permanent collection gallery, displays work by Hakuin, refreshing the exhibition several times a year. Along with the Zen art collection, an art pavilion stands on the campus. KOHTEI pavilion was designed by sculptor Kohei Nawa and his creative platform SANDWICH. Inside the ship-shaped building, which is completely covered with wood shingles, is a unique installation where visitors can experience subtly glittering lights on the waves. It is Nawa’s way of interpreting the teachings of Zen by expressing their essence through contemporary art. Please enjoy the world of Zen, which is now fully accessible to the general public for the first time ever, through all five senses! #Fukuyama #Hiroshima #nawakohei #architecture #zen #temple #zenmuseum #zenmuseumandgardens (禅と庭のミュージアム) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7DcLA4jH93/?igshid=eclg5au8caah
