展示替えのお知らせ【白金】 3月24日(土)まで

Exhibition Rotation Announcement at the Shirokane Gallery (until March 24)

少しずつ春の兆しが見え始めた今日この頃ですが皆さまいかがお過ごしでしょうか
ロンドンギャラリー白金より展示替えのお知らせをいたします。

今回皆さまをお迎えいたしますのは厨子の扉絵【鎌倉～南北朝時代】でございます。

We hope this finds you all well as little by little the weather becomes more like spring. We are pleased to announce here the next rotation in our regular exhibit at the Shirokane gallery.

Welcoming visitors as the elevator doors open is this pair of doors from a shrine that once housed a Buddhist sculpture, which date from the Kamakura to Nanbokucho periods (ca. 14th century).

一言に厨子と申しましても、正面のみ開くもの、側面も開くものなどいくつかのタイプがございます。
本作品は四天王のうちの二体が描かれておりますので、恐らくは正面と側面の四方向が開く仕様で、本尊を四天王が守っているような造りだったのではないでしょうか。

その他にも、一年以上ぶりの登場となる長谷川等伯の「花鳥図」なども展示しております。

There are different types of this kind of shrine, called zushi in Japanese. Some have only two doors that open in the front, while others have doors that open on the sides as well. These particular works feature two of the four Heavenly Kings (J: Shitenno) , making it likely that they came from a zushi that opened from the sides as well, with all four of the deities together protecting the principle object of worship housed within.

Also on display for the first time in a year are our Bird and Flower screens by Hasegawa Tohaku (1539-1610).


また、越前の大壷からは一足早く紅白の花が一本から咲いております。

There is also a bold display of white and pink quince blossoms from a single branch in the large medieval Echizen jar.


少し暖かくなり外の梅の花もほころび始め、春は間近となってまいりました！
お散歩がてらどうぞお立ち寄りくださいませ。

皆様のお越しをお待ちしております

As it gets ever so slightly warmer outside, the plum blossoms have begun to fall and spring is on its way. If you happen to be out for a walk in the area, please feel free to stop by any time.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
