From December 6, 2022 (Tue) to February 5, 2023 (Sun), “In Commemoration of Junno Uemura’s Receipt of the Order of Culture, Flower and Bird Paintings with Heart: Uemura Shoko and Junno” will be held.
The flower-and-bird paintings by Uemura Shoko and Junno are not reproductions of our everyday space on silk or paper. What is depicted is a beautiful world created in the artist’s mind.
The two artists have continued to depict the world of birds and flowers, which they believe is the essence of oriental painting. In this exhibition, visitors will be able to enjoy the beautiful world created from the hearts of both Shoko and Junno through approximately 90 works by both artists.
During the exhibition period, in commemoration of the 2022 Order of Cultural Merit awarded to the museum’s director, Uemura Atsuyuki, an art lecture and discussion with Sakakibara Yoshiro (professor emeritus at Kyoto City University of Arts) will also be held, and a commemorative postcard featuring the “Flower and Bird of the Four Seasons” design will be presented to all visitors to the museum.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
