FY28 Creation Grant [Single-year grant program] 2nd term
Business Overview
Based on academic knowledge, the colors and specifications at the time of creation are restored to the colors and specifications of national treasures and other Japanese art that have faded due to aging or had specifications changed. It is a hands-on art appreciation activity in which participants actually use the restored objects as tools while explaining the background of the culture, customs and architecture at the time of the creation. Going back to the fact that most of Japanese art was created as tools, 'Shodo' has been advocated with the aim of enriching daily life by freely praising works through the experience of touching and opening them, and by taking in the gaze of Japanese art. In order to further deepen the cultural experience, the activities are accompanied by music (gagaku, etc.) of the time of production, incense preparation, food of the time, tea ceremony according to the calendar and season, and are provided as an entertainment to be enjoyed with the five senses centered on appreciating Japanese art. ■ Lecturer: Taizo KOBAYASHI ■ Outline of the course ・ Small banquet before the start of the course (light meal provided) ・ Explanation of the culture and customs of the period in which it was made ・ Experience using a reproduction ・ Tea ceremony ■ Cooperation with gagaku musicians, priests, etc. ■ Tea ceremony Cooperation with Fujisan Marushige Tea Garden, Yusuke KANZAKI
