鼓 Tsuzumi (Hand Drum) by 中村大三郎 Nakamura Daizaburō (Japanese) - Ink & color on silk hanging scroll / c. 1920-1924 - Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) #womeninart #art #japaneseart #鼓 #drum #NakamuraDaizaburō #中村大三郎 #met #themet #NakamuraDaizaburo #掛軸 #scrollart #painting #artwork #japaneseartist
A young apprentice geisha (maiko) with straight black hair parted in the middle and face-length side bangs which indicate movement or dancing looks down to her left while wearing a light peach silk kimono with a few floral patterns and fire red collar. She has placed a small tsuzumi (or kotsuzumi) on her right shoulder. This handheld drum consists of a lacquered wooden body shaped like an hourglass and features two drumheads with cords that can be squeezed or released to allow the player to raise or lower the pitch while playing. Such hand drums are used in Noh, dance music (nagauta), off-stage Kabuki theater music (geza), and in traditional folk music performed by maiko and geisha. Nakamura Daizaburō titled this work Tsuzumi (Hand Drum)—inscribed in kana calligraphy on the storage box. In doing so, he followed a convention established by Japanese modern artists of titling a work after a distinctive object in a painting rather than by referring to its human subject. He was the oldest son of a kimono dyer and established his fame in the early 1920s, creating numerous paintings of idealized young women. His training in the family textile dyeing business allowed his works to accurately capture the latest fashions of the day. Later in the 1920s, he would expand his repertory to create larger format genre scenes.

This two-panel screen by Nihonga artist Nakamura Daizaburō features film star Takako Irie oozing sophistication wearing a fire-red kimono while reclining on a “modern” European-style chaise lounge. Takako Irie (入江 たか子 aka Irie Takako) was a Japanese movie actress born in Tokyo into the aristocratic Higashibōjō family. She became a major star, even starting her own production company, Irie Productions, in 1932. One of Kenji Mizoguchi's silent film masterpieces, The Water Magician, was produced at that company with Irie starring. She appeared in many advertisements, as well as on fans and other commercial goods. This folding screen painting appeared in the 1930 Teiten Imperial Exhibition by the Imperial Academy of Arts (forerunner of the Japan Art Academy). Nakamura Daizaburō 中村大三郎 was a Japanese painter active during the Taishō and Shōwa eras. He was born in Kyoto, the eldest son of a kimono dyer. He studied at the Kyoto Municipal School of Fine Arts and Crafts from 1912 to 1916. He then entered the Kyoto Municipal School of Painting, where he studied under Nishiyama Suisho, and was appointed to the faculty in 1925.

大正時代の日本画に、ピアノを弾く振袖女子の絵(中村大三郎「ピアノ」 検索すれば出てきます)がありました。

和服とピアノの取り合わせは、時代が変わっても新鮮。

高島屋史料館『タカシマヤクロニクル1期2部』冨田溪仙「風神雷神」はかなりの大きさなんだけど迫力というよりファンシーな感じがする。高島屋トップの還暦祝画帖は流石。中村大三郎の描く女子の顔は本当好い、上村松園の空豆はそんなのあるんだと面白かった。
