上方ブロマイド ―役者絵と美人画―
令和7年11月30日（日）〜令和8年1月25日（日）
蔦屋重三郎が活躍した時代から少し遅れて、上方（京・大坂）でも役者絵が盛んに制作されるようになりました。蔦屋重三郎に試練を与えた出版統制を含む改革によって、江戸では豪華な浮世絵制作が難しくなる中で、上方では通常の浮世絵とともに金や銀を用いた豪華版の浮世絵も作られ続けました。役者絵と美人画は、今でいうブロマイドともいえる役割をもち、当時上方で活躍していた歌舞伎役者や人気の遊女たちを取り上げ、販売されていました。上方をわかせていた人気者たちの晴れ姿を色鮮やかな浮世絵版画でご覧ください。

Kamigata Pin-ups —Portraits of Actors and Beautiful Women—
Nov. 30 (Sun.), 2025 – Jan. 25 (Sun.), 2026
Years after Tsutaya Juzaburo found success in the art world, ukiyoe prints depicting actors were almost mass-produced in Kamigata (Kyoto and Osaka). At that time in Edo (Tokyo), political reforms were being implemented, including strict censorship of opulent publications, which posed a serious challenge to Juzaburo. Meanwhile, in Kamigata, even more luxurious versions of ukiyoe, using gold and silver, continued to be produced. Ukiyoe portraits of local kabuki actors and beautiful women, actually popular courtesans, were sold to fans much like modern-day pin-ups of celebrities. In this exhibition, you can encounter the celebrities of that time through vivid-colored ukiyoe prints.
