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.
RECENT NEWS
Pair of early Meiji period literati landscape
screens
Signed: Tanomura Chokunyu (1814 - 1907)
Dated: Meiji 4 (1872)
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.
