辰野金吾と美術のはなし（東京ステーションギャラリー） Tatsuno Kingo and His Relationship with Art (Tokyo Station Gallery)

東京駅を設計した、建築家辰野金吾の没後100年を記念した企画展。

A planned exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of architect Kingo Tatsuno, who designed Tokyo Station.

辰野金吾は、幕末に唐津で生まれ、苦学した末に英国留学のチャンスを掴み、帰国後は東京駅をはじめとした多くの近代建築を手掛けた。

会場には、海外留学時の辰野のスケッチ帳が展示されていた。とにかく何でも吸収してやろうという勉強熱心さが窺える。

Born in Karatsu at the end of the Edo period, Kingo Tatsuno seized the opportunity to study abroad in the UK after a hard time studying, and after returning to Japan he worked on many modern buildings including Tokyo Station.

At the venue, Tatsuno's sketchbook when studying abroad was displayed. Anyway, I can see the eagerness to study to absorb anything.

辰野は留学時に洋画家の松岡壽と出会い、生涯を通じた友人となった。

松岡壽が描いた辰野の肖像画や、辰野の建築に美術面で参加した際のデッサンなどの資料も展示されていた。

辰野が設計した東京都内の様々な建築が描かれた絵画が展示されていた。近代の東京は、辰野金吾が設計したと言っても、それほど間違っていないのではないか。

While studying abroad, Tatsuno met Western painter Hisashi Matsuoka and became a friend throughout his life.

The portraits of Tatsuno drawn by Matsuoka and materials such as a drawing of an artistic part of Tatsuno's architecture were also on display.

Paintings depicting various architecture in Tokyo designed by Tatsuno were exhibited. Even if it says that modern Tokyo was designed by Kingo Tatsuno, it is not so wrong.
