紫陽花や雨沛然と暮六つ　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Fleeting hydrangea blue 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It's vigorously raining 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Six o'clock evening


夜かげり紫陽花の青沈みけり

Night is falling

Hydrangea's blue

is melting into night blue



走井に添いて水盛る四片かな

Hydrangea

Alongside to the well

A waterdrop on a petal



驟雨来て軒の宿りや青よひら

Caught in a shower

Took shelter under the eaves

Hydrangea blue!



紫陽花や斯くして今生の変化

Hydrangea

So changing color

This life



Fleeting hydrangea blue

It's vigorously raining 

Six o'clock evening



Night is falling

Hydrangea's blue

is melting into night blue



Hydrangea

Alongside to the well

A waterdrop on a petal



Hydrangea

So changing color

This life



Caught in a shower

Took shelter under the eaves      　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Hydrangea blue!

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

イメージ
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 (卵形の象徴と図像について）

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 ...

About the Transition of Idea of the Perspective and Philosophy of the Gaze

イメージ
About the Transition of Idea of the Perspective and Philosophy of the Gaze Tadami Yamada 「遠近法の思想と視線の哲学の変遷について」　山田維史      Last year, in October 2016, the Siebold Museum in the Netherlands announced that six paintings of Japanese landscapes brought back by Siebold, which had been labeled "gifts from Hokusai" in Siebold's handwritten inscriptions, had been reexamined and confirmed to be genuine Katsushika Hokusai works.      One of the six is ​​a lithograph, and all were created after studying Western painting.      What makes this painting significant is that it is not a copy of a Western painting, but an original depiction of an Edo landscape, likely a realistic sketch. It is also painted with accurate perspective based on theoretical understanding. It is important to note that perspective only entered Japanese painting in the 19th century. Incidentally, the first oil painting in Japan is believed to have been Hiraga Gennai (1728-1780).  ...
