内容紹介
「Colorful Realm:色彩の領域 伊藤若冲による日本の鳥と花の絵画集」は、日本の江戸時代のもっとも重要な宝 のひとつである伊藤若冲の絵画集を、初めて英語で検証した出版物である。 18世紀中旬、京都の青物問屋だった伊藤若冲は、釈迦三尊像を見て感動し、絵を描きだした。彼は原図をかなり忠実 に模写した作品、釈迦三尊図(クリーブランド 美術館蔵)を描きあげ、そののち『動植綵絵』(どうしょく さいえ) 30幅からなる日本画であり、動植物(実在するもしくは伝説上の)を描いた彩色画を描き上げた。画はブッダが悟 りの時に得た、「山川草木悉皆仏性」の思想を描き出したと考えられる。写実主義にそって描かれた鳥、昆虫、水に 住む生物を、華麗な花、植物に囲んだ作品は、画絹に最高品質の絵具を用いて描かれている:気取って歩く雄鶏、美 しい魚たちがアシの間を泳ぎ回る、湿地の池に向かって急降下するガン。それと同時に、描かれたものたちは、その 見かけをもっと越えた、宇宙の極めて重要なエッセンスの表現でもあるー仏性の表れとして。 若冲は西洋においてはあまり知られていない存在であるが、日本では北斎よりも重要な絵師として知られている。こ の書籍は、この繊細な作品群が日本以外の国において、完璧な形で紹介される初めてのものである。
Book Description
A much-anticipated harbinger of spring, the cherry blossom is also exemplary of the Japanese artistic aesthetic - a delight in simple, natural beauty and an attentiveness to the changing seasons. This spring will mark the centennial of Japan's gift of three thousand cherry trees to Washington, DC, and this sumptuously illustrated catalogue is the companion to a celebratory exhibition at the National Gallery of Art featuring the work of Ito Jakuchu. Jakuchu (1716-1800), a wealthy wholesaler and talented painter, is, in Japan, the most recognized artist of the premodern era. His thirty-scroll set of bird-and-flower paintings titled "Colorful Realm of Living Beings" is a renowned cultural treasure, one of the most beautiful and skilled examples of how the natural world is depicted and symbolized in Japanese art. Presenting gorgeous flora and fauna in meticulous detail, the scrolls are reunited here with Jakuchu's triptych of the Buddha Sakyamuni from the Zen monastery Shokokuji in Kyoto. This stunning volume reproduces these masterpieces of Edo-period art and complements them with extensive background material on their significance. Recent conservation of the scrolls has revealed new information about the materials and techniques used by Jakuchu, and those findings are discussed in the volume, offering a multifaceted understanding of the artist's virtuosity and innovation as a painter. As the first English-language examination and overseas display of Jakuchu's Colorful Realm in its entirety, the book and exhibition will offer new audiences a chance to encounter this landmark work-generously lent by the Imperial Household Agency, Tokyo.

ワシントンのナショナル・ギャラリーで開催された伊藤若冲「動植綵絵」（Colorful Realm）の特別展（2012年3月〜4月）のExhibition Catalogである。
内容はすばらしいの一言に尽きる。絵はすばらしいし、印刷もすばらしい。まだ、読めていないが、解説も豊富である。
決して大判でないわけではないが、現物を見た後では、小さいと感じられるのはやむを得ないだろう。
たまたま、この特別展を現地で見たが、大盛況でカタログは売り切れだった。行かなくても買える上に、値段も決して高くなくお値打ちであると思う。
本書を子細に見ていくと、日本企業の支援も多々あるようだ。別に企業関係者ではないが、知っておいた方がよい情報と思ったので書いておく。
サポートあるいはスポンサーとして記述があるのは、トヨタ、日経、ダイキン、伊藤園、三菱商事、パナソニックの各社であった。
いろいろな支えにより実現したこの特別展により日米文化交流が進み、一層の相互理解に繋がればよいと思うにつけ、このような特別展がワシントンで好評のうちに開催されていたことを日本の誰もが知るようになればよいとも願うものである。

Astounding!

This book is a masterpiece about a masterpiece. Not only is it the best catalog I know of displaying these breathtaking world treasures, it's also the only one I've ever seen that zooms in close on this style of work, visually and textually, graphically and technically. If you have ANY interest in seeing these pieces as if you owned them, or have ever wondered about the techniques behind such work, don't hesitate. Over my long lifetime of collecting books and catalogs concerning Japanese painting, I've never seen anything like it and have always wanted to; it's a deeply-held wish granted. A thousand thanks to all who helped make it happen.

This book has been released in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name that opened at the National Gallery in Washington DC on 30 March. The exhibition is only on for 30 days, and it's doubtful whether the paintings will ever be on display in the US again as they are rather fragile and have only been displayed all together once before in over 100 years.
As a local I've been to see the exhibition several times and it is truly superb: the detail in the 30 bird-and-flower paintings is wonderful, but also the arrangements of the plants and animals is lovely. When you go back to see the scrolls again (and again) you keep gaining new appreciation of the works. Little details catch your eye such as the tilt of a bird's head, the patterning of the roosters' feathers, the little wavy feathers on the back of the phoenix's neck, the exquisite scales of the fish. Initially I wondered why there were so many paintings of humble chickens, but after studying them so much I now appreciate that the rooster, in all its different plumages, is a truly beautiful bird!
It's because of the great beauty in the little details that a good catalog book is a very worthwhile purchase. I browsed the display copies in the National Gallery and they looked very good, with lots of nice blow-ups of different sections of the paintings. Unfortunately, the books sold out very early into the exhibition so I've placed my order with Amazon and I hope it arrives soon. It will be a terrific souvenir of a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition.

Sets a new standard for art history books

This is the most amazing art history book that I have ever seen! Finally a book that gives the reader as complete a visual experience as could be had without seeing the actual paintings. This book sets a new standard for all such works in the future. All other art history books and catalogues pale by comparison to this show catalogue.
First, we get a presentation of the exhibit in its entirety, and how each painting contributes to the whole. Next, at least three levels of viewing are presented for each painting, the overall painting, closer views of key areas, and finally seeing a close and detailed view of the paint on its textile surface. It continues with the historical and cultural analysis of the period of the paintings creation and finally a thorough analysis of the technical aspects of the paintings; pigment, paint, supports, etc. Just a fabulous exploration of a small body of work by one painter. Amazing.
When I saw the story about this exceptional exhibit on the PBS News Hour I really regretted that I did not have the money to fly from the west coast to Washington to see the paintings. This book is definitely the next best thing and at at quite a reasonable cost considering the alternative. I have not as yet read all of the text, but if it lives up to the visual impact, as I feel sure it will, it will still be a total understatement of the triumph this book manifests. The acknowledgements page is an understatement to the paeans of praise this book and its creators deserve. Thanks to all who worked on this magnificent gift to art lovers.
