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 ...

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).  ...

About on "Matsukaze (Pine Wind)" in Edo               Tadami Yamada 江戸の「松風」について　　山田維史      When you think of "Matsukaze," many people associate it with "Matsukaze," the 18th chapter of The Tale of Genji. It tells the story of a female diver connected to a mysterious pine tree at Suma Bay. The Noh play "Matsukaze" is also based on the same legend, telling the story of a woman's obsession with love. The graves of twin women named Matsukaze and Murasame, who died madly in love, were located on the pine trees at Suma Bay.      Pine trees were often planted on beaches to shelter from the sea winds and as sand-preventing forests. There are many famous seaside pine groves throughout Japan, including Miho no Matsubara in Shizuoka City, depicted in Hiroshige's "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido," Kehi no Matsubara in Tsuruga City, mentioned in the Manyoshu, and Amanohashidate, home to the legend of the feather robe. While th...
