Regarding Nude Images of Japanese People Themselves （日本人の裸体画像について）

Regarding Nude Images of Japanese People Themselves, 2006                 By Tadami Yamada 山田維史  「日本人の裸体画像について」      The other day, I was having a drink with some people and we wondered what a samurai's physique actually looked like. If they had trained in martial arts regularly, their muscles would have been firm and strong. If they had practiced swordsmanship, their shoulders and arms would have been quite developed. But what about the lower body?      There were no cars like today to get around. They used their legs almost everywhere they went. From Edo to Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagasaki. They traveled all over Japan on foot. They must have been more than just strong-legged.      My house is in what is known as the Shinsengumi village. Hijikata Toshizo's birthplace is not that far away. In the old days, it was called Ishida Village, Tama County, Bushu (now Ishida, Hino City, Tokyo). His comrade ...

On the symbolism and iconography of egg shapes,  1993            By Tadami Yamada 山田維史 （論文）「卵形の象徴と図像について」  日本語初出『AZ』1993年（新人物往来社）      As if to investigate anew what an egg, which hung before my eyes in a state that could be called a vision or a notion, was, my painting career, which I had just begun at that time, has taken on the appearance of an egg hunt ever since. In England, on Easter, children search for colorfully dyed eggs in the thickets of plants or among flowers in their gardens. Children who gather the most eggs receive a reward. My painting career is just like those children.      According to Jung, "The image of an egg depicts the outermost and the innermost, the greatest and the smallest, just like the idea of ​​the Indian atman (self) embracing the world and living in the human heart as Thumb."      My interest is solely in the relationship between eggs and the "place" from which ...

A Study About The Emergence Of Portraits Of Women Reading And Their Social Meaning (読書する女性の肖像とその社会的な意味）

A Study About The Emergence Of Portraits Of Women Reading And Their Social Meaning, 2015 　　　　　By Tadami Yamada   山田維史「読書する女性の肖像とその社会的な意味」 ある医療クリニックでの講義原稿の英語訳      In art history from the 18th to the 19th century, the theme of "portraits of women reading" emerged and became popular. This theme did not arise from any particular art movement. In fact, images of women reading books have been depicted for a much longer time. After going through the trend in the 19th century, the number of depictions has decreased significantly, but they have continued to be depicted in the 20th century and up to the present day of the 21st century. What exactly does the "portrait of a woman reading" mean? What did the painters of each era express with it? I would like to examine this below. Women and books in religious paintings       As mentioned above, portraits of women reading have been painted since ancient times. However, they did not particularly emphasi...
