Opening this Saturday 3rd July members of the
Sogetsu School Branch of Melbourne will be showing arrangements at
Kazari Collector. One of the most avant garde schools of Japanese
flower arranging, Sogetsu was founded in 1927 in Japan and has just
celebrated 50 years of practice in Australia with the visit of the
current grand Master Iemoto Akane Teshigahara. The Melbourne branch
has around 50 members, a number of whom assisted Sogetsu Master
Tetsunori Kawana with his bamboo sculpture created for the National
Gallery of Victoria last year, along with a number of teachers and
regular demonstrators in Melbourne and Kazari artist
Evan Demas.
Pair of early Meiji period literati landscape screens Signed: Tanomura Chokunyu (1814 - 1907) Like his master and adoptive father Tanomura Chikuden, Tanomura Chokunyu was an esteemed nanga painter (artists concerned with being literati scholars, influenced by classical Chinese painting, often creating ink landscapes). Working in Kyoto, he helped establish and became the first director of the Kyoto Municipal School of Fine Arts and Crafts, and thereafter founded the Nihon Nanga Kyokai. With a commitment to Chinese style painting he remains a leading Meiji period exponent of the nanga tradition and along with producing poetry and calligraphy (in accordance with nanga traditions) he was a juror for many exhibitions and had many pupils. Two similar screens dating to the same period are housed at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, other works can be found in the Ashmoleum Museum Oxford, the British Museum, and the Idemitsu Art Gallery Tokyo. View screens at the Musuem of Fine Arts Boston
