“In my own life I well know how hard it is for me to trust that I am loved, and to trust that the intimacy I most crave is there for me. I most often live as if I have to earn love, do something noteworthy, and then perhaps I might get something in return. This attitude touches the whole question of what is called in the spiritual life, the 'first love.' Do I really believe that I am loved first, independent of what I do or what I accomplish? This is an important question because as long as I think that what I most need I have to earn, deserve and collect by hard work, I will never get what I most need and desire, which is a love that cannot be earned, but that is freely given.

Thus, my return is my willingness to renounce such thoughts and to choose to live more and more from my true identity as a cherished child of God."

~ Henri Nouwen

「名所江戸百景　亀戸梅屋敷」, 1857

[ragazzo-supernova]

Sono delicate note che suonano nei miei giorni più grigi

Angeli di fango col volto da cherubini

In fila con gli affranti io ne porto le effigi

E salto nella città allagata come Sonnellini

Fra orologi d'oro e anime da manichini

Necrologi, sentimenti, strade, cicatrici

Facce rievocate dal fumo sugli edifici

Solitario come lungo i viali di vecchia Parigi

Oggi la memoria torna e si trasforma nella peggio gogna

Un mezzo morto sogna che il sole lo impicchi

Una colonna di insuccessi che adorna le vesti

Di chi ha il cuore in una fogna e aspetta che il tempo conficchi

La sua lama fredda poi il silenzio fra i deliri

Pioggia e whisky dove prima crescevano gli iris

Fiamme spente, candele, respiri

E il cielo si fa rosa, Kameido Umeyashiki

This is another piece of art by Utagawa Hiroshigh, from the series 100 famous views of Edo. This picture is called Plum Garden at kameido (Kameido umeyashiki). I love the contrast of colours in this picture. But with a little resrch this picture is more interesting according to Brooklyn museums webpage “Hiroshige brings us face to face with the celebrated "Sleeping Dragon Plum" of Kameido. This tree, the most famous in Edo, was known for the purity of its double blossoms, which, according to one Edo guidebook, were "so white when full in bloom as to drive off the darkness." This inspired me to not just look at the appearance of art but the meaning behind it or the hidden story that inspired it!!

[su_label type=”info”]Utagawa Kunisada(1786-1865)[/su_label]

Utagawa Kunisada(歌川国貞) was the one of the most popular ukiyo-e artists at the end of the Tokugawa period as well as Utagawa Kuniyoshi(歌川国芳), among the disciples of the first Toyokuni(豊国). In contrast to his younger disciple, he was a serious person and always neatly dressed.

  [su_label type=”black”]Maximum number of works in all of the ukiyo-e artists[/su_label]

  He was born as a son of a timber wholesaler who run a ferry. But he already began to study painting under Toyokuni in the mid-teens. And he published the first Nishiki-e at the age of 19.

  His talent bloomed at his young age. He sent Yakusha-e(kabuki actors portrait) and bijin-e(beautiful women portrait) one after another to the world. 

  In 1812 he started drawing the picture yakusha-e’s Ookubi-e(the picture of the upper half of the body) series, “Kabuki Actor Puzzle”(役者はんじもの, Yakusha hanjimono)  and “BigHit Kyogen”(大当狂言之内, Ooatari kyougen no uchi). He used mica powder for coloring the background.

  Among the bijin-e he created, “Modern Vanity Mirror”(今風化粧鏡, Imafu keshokagami)  and “Nowadays Twenty-Three Women”(当世三十弐相, Tosei sanjunisou)  are representative. He portrayed the women of Edo with great expression.

  He also worked on drawing illustrations for Gokan(picture books in Edo Period) including “Imposter Murasaki and Bumpkin Genji”(偐紫田舎源氏, Nise Murasaki inaka Genji). 

  Kunisada declared himself the second Toyokuni in 1844, but in fact Toyoshige had already inherited the name. But he even so didn’t admit it and continued to insist that he was the second. Unfortunately for him, the researchers recognize him as the third Toyokuni.

  As a Ukiyoe painter who painted more pictures than anyone, he gradually loses the quality of his work in his later years, but he led the world of ukiyo-e with Hiroshige(広重) and Kuniyoshi as one of Utagawa School.
