燕子花と紅白梅 光琳デザインの秘密（根津美術館） Secret of Korin's Design (Nezu Museum)

今年は、琳派が誕生してから400年と言われ、また尾形光琳が亡くなってから300年ということで、各地で琳派に関する展覧会が開催されている。

燕子花図屏風を所蔵する根津美術館では、MOA美術館の紅白梅図屏風を招き、両者を並べて展示するという、琳派ファンにはたまらない特別展を開催した。

今年初めに、そのMOA美術館でも、この根津美術館の燕子花図屏風を借りて、紅白梅図屏風を向かいに展示する、という展覧会を開催した。

この根津美術館の展覧会では、小西家文書といわれる、光琳の下絵などが多数展示され、それが実に興味深かった。

その中には、光琳が生まれた雁金屋の着物のデザインを描いた資料もあり、光琳が、そうした図柄を参考にしていたことがよくわかる。

中には、燕子花や波の形の着物のデザインもあり、燕子花図屏風の燕子花や紅白梅図屏風の波のアイデアは、おそらくそこから得たであろうことが、文字通り一目瞭然。

琳派の誕生の瞬間に立ち会えたような、深い感動を味わうことができた。
