[en]Happy New Year issue Ukiyo-e 浮世絵サイト
(quoted from nagoya Brodcasting Network)
Since 2008 we are going to publish new contents here.

It explorers the events, travel information, beautiful web sites on the theme of Japan which is the main titleof of this group. It also produces some art works using the images uploaded here.
The first one is introducing the web site Admin recommend -:) Ukiyo-e(浮世絵), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints (or woodcuts) and paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theatre and pleasure quarters.
Nagoya Broadcasting Network,it is the largest TV company in my(nottiestyle) place to live and produced Ukiyo-e art museum as its part of web site. There, it is the wonderful art which deserves seeing. Furthermore, you have to pay attention about that vivid pictures are drawn using the maximum in a limited number of colors. Please go to the web site and enjoy Ukiyo-e.

[ja]2008年から新しいコンテンツがここにできました。

このグループの主旨である日本を題材にしたイベントや旅行情報、きれいなサイトをご紹介していきます。まず最初にご紹介するのは、管理人オススメのWEBサイト、浮世絵”世俗のイメージ”は17世紀から20世紀にかけて版画として流行した絵画であり、風景や歴史物語、劇場や当時の娯楽の様子をモチーフとしているのが特徴です。名古屋テレビ局(管理人nottiestyleが住んでいる街では一番大きな放送会社)は浮世絵美術館をその公式サイトの一部として紹介しています。そこには、見るに値する素晴らしい美術作品がアップロードされています。さらに、気を留めて見ていただきたいのは、限られた色を使って最大限に色鮮やかな絵画が描かれているところです。

どうぞ、ごゆっくりとサイトと浮世絵をお楽しみください。

Yes, It is really disappointing that we can only enjoy these Ukiyo-e works in the virtual world.
Nagoya TV says in their site,

"Nagoya TV has a collection of over 8000 Ukiyo-e prints, including the works that have been posted on this web site. This collection originally belonged to Mr. Yasuo Yajima, Management Director for the Asahi Shimbun, who had acquired these pieces over a long period of time. When Mr. Yajima decided to donate his collection to "Kodomono Kuni (The Children's Castle)" Association for fund raising, Nagoya TV, led by the late Mr. Taiji Kawate, who was CEO at the time, were the only affiliates to bid. We thus decided to buy up the entire collection, which brings us to the present day."

I really wish if we could see these works in the real, in the Nagoya museum.
Thanks for your comment -:)
