"Black" is a unique color that is not stained by anything. It has been an indispensable element in Japanese painting since ancient times. In the Edo period, when many people began to enjoy painting, pictorial expression spread and black was used in a variety of ways. This exhibition focuses on black and introduces the expression of black in Edo paintings, as well as the culture and values ​​of the time.
Many people may think of night when they hear the word black. Among works depicting night, such as moonlit scenes and people's daily lives, we will focus on depictions of shadows and darkness and explore how black was used. We will also consider what works with black backgrounds and ukiyo-e prints that were popular with hobbyists known as "sumisaishiki" and "benigirai" with black as the base color symbolize.
In the corner where you can view the works in the dark with a faint light, please enjoy the beauty of the soft glow of the gold folding screens, which you cannot experience in an ordinary art museum.
What did people in the Edo period find and feel about "black"? We will explore the color black in Edo painting from a variety of themes and explore its appeal.

Лучшая смотровая в Токио. Правда был ветер сильнейший и было сложно находиться там долго. Лучше выбирать погоду получше. Людей очень много. Если будет дождь, то могут отменить. Нам повезло, так как дождь закончился и случился шикарный закат, а также было видно Фудзи! Я была в полном восторге! Обязательно повторю! Must see в целом :)

Got to the park at 3pm (closing at 9pm), but still managed to get onto 7 ride, including the newest peter pan n rapunzel rides. check out the maintenance period for rides (like frozen) so that u wont get too disappointed only to find out that they r closed when u get to the rides.

The second time I came, I didn&#39;t have the freshness of the first time, but the first time I was alone, and I didn&#39;t play the interaction. This time I was with friends and interacted, it was much more interesting. The first half is more interesting, and the second half is a bit boring.

The overall view from the top of the Skytree is OK. The weather was not good on the day we went there, so we couldn&#39;t see Mount Fuji. The elevator was fast and convenient. The ice cream on the roof was delicious. Because the tower is very high, the buildings below are very small.
