■MESSAGE from the EDITOR■
満開の桜でにぎわう東京で大正浪漫が花開きました。
4月6日から、弥生美術館で「マツオヒロミ展 レトロモダンファンタジア」と竹久夢二美術館で「夢二がえがく動物ワンダーランド ～大正ロマンのイラスト＆デザインを中心に～」が同時に開催されています。初日は開館を待ちかねた入場者が押し寄せ、受付・ミュージアムショップのスペースはマツオカヒロミのサイン会を待つ人で満杯となり、グッズも容易に買えないありさまでした。
弥生美術館の展示場では、大正浪漫を基調とする斬新で色鮮やかな衣装をまとった少女たちのイラストがずらりと並び、魅力たっぷりに来館者を迎えています。
一方、竹久夢二美術館では、敢えていつもの大正浪漫の趣を変え、夢二の描いた数十種類の動物がずらり。展示場では、夢二の動きのある画法により、数十種類もの動物が生き生きと描かれています。中には子どもの絵の手本として描かれたものもありますが、とても子ども向けとは思えないようなかなり高度な技法で描かれています。
もっとも、「私は3歳の頃から馬の絵を描いていた」と言う夢二のことですから、レベルが違うのかもしれませんね。
＊展覧会は両館とも本年6月30日（日）まで。
Taisho romance has blossomed in Tokyo, a city filled with cherry blossoms in full bloom.
From April 6th, "Hiromi Matsuo Exhibition: Retro Modern Fantasia'' is being held at the Yayoi Museum, and "Animal Wonderland by Yumeji - Focusing on Taisho Roman Illustrations and Designs'' is being held simultaneously at the Yumeji Takehisa Museum. On the first day, there was a rush of visitors waiting for the museum to open, and the reception/museum shop space was filled with people waiting for Hiromi Matsuoka's autograph session, making it difficult to buy merchandise.
The exhibition hall of the Yayoi Museum is lined with illustrations of young girls wearing innovative and brightly colored costumes based on Taisho Romantic themes, and visitors are greeted with charm.
On the other hand, the Takehisa Yumeji Museum dares to change its usual Taisho Roman style and displays dozens of types of animals drawn by Yumeji. In the exhibition hall, dozens of types of animals are vividly depicted using Yumeji's moving painting method. Some of them were drawn as models for children's drawings, but many of them were drawn using highly advanced techniques that would hardly be considered suitable for children.
However, since Yumeji says, "I've been drawing pictures of horses since I was three years old,'' he may be on a different level.
*The exhibition will be open until June 30th (Sunday) at both museums.

■ 夢二の“カワイイ”■ YUMEJI’S “KAWAII” ■
『竹久夢二 かわいい手帖 大正ロマンの乙女ワールド』（石川桂子編、河出書房新社）より
Based on “Takehisa Yumeji Kawaii Notebook Female World of Taisho Roman”by Keiko Ishikawa, Curator of Takehisa Yumeji Art Museum
＜第1章＞「かわいい×デザイン」
１ “かわいい”はここから始まった！大正乙女のファンシーショップ「港屋絵草紙店」
“かわいい(kawaii)”はここから始まりました。大正5年（1914）、夢二は東京・日本橋に「港屋絵草紙店」を開店し、自らデザインした品々を販売しました。夢二が描いた1枚ものの木版画をはじめ、千代紙、絵封筒や、浴衣・帯・半襟などが並べられ、これらの商品は、売り出しのチラシで「可愛い(kawaii)」という言葉を用いて宣伝されました。少女や女性が好み、趣味の良い「可愛い(kawaii)」小物類を提案した夢二は、近代の日本において、いち早く“かわいい(kawaii)”に注目した画家でした。
夢二が港屋絵草紙店から発信した“かわいい(kawaii)”商品は、大正という新しい時代の波に乗って、若い女性に受け入れられ大変評判となりました。
約千年前の日本で雑貨類を扱うファンシーショップの先駆けを担った港屋絵草紙店は、“かわいい(kawaii)”をコンセプトとして、女性の身のまわりを彩る夢二デザインで溢れました。
<CHAPTER 1> “CUTE × KAWAII”
1. “Kawaii” started here! Taisho maiden’s fancy shop “Minatoya Ezoshiten Bookstore 港屋絵草紙店”
"Kawaii" has received a lot of attention overseas these days. This is why Yumeji Takehisa, a painter who symbolizes the Taisho Romantic period, demonstrated his talent in the work of introducing and adding color to people’s lives and attire by describing accessories he designed in the Taisho period (1912-1926). He also established ”lyrical painting'' by drawing girls with delicate and pretty figures, and expressed the image of kawaii” that girls admired first in the world. In addition to his stylish design drawings and simple and heartwarming cut-outs, Yumeji also created adorable children's drawings, leaving behind many “kawaii'' images that are still relevant today.
Yumeji's "kawaii'' products from Minatoya Ezoshiten were popular among young women and became very popular, riding on the wave of the new era of the Taisho era.
Minatoya Ezoshiten Bookstore, which was the pioneer of fancy shops selling miscellaneous goods in Japan about a thousand years ago, was full of Yumeji designs that adorned women's personal items with the concept of ``kawaii.''

■ 夢二のすべて■ ALL ABOUT YUMEJI ■
竹久夢二という人物をより理解するために、彼の特徴や作品をご紹介します。
To better understand the person named Yumeji Takehisa, his unique characteristics of him and his work are introduced here.
１ 夢二がなりたかったもの
夢二がなりたかったのは画家ではなく、詩人でした。
彼の最初の著作「夢二画集 春の巻」で彼はこう書いています。
「十六の春、私は都会へ出た。その頃、私は画工になるつもりではありませぬでした。朱欄長廊の高閣に世の栄華を極めたいとばかりおもってゐた。
けれど、都会における漂浪生活の習慣は、私をして何時しか、群衆に交わることをさへ恥ぢるうようにして終わった。白亜高き銀座の街を、伏目勝に歩みながら並うつ胸を抱いて、革命、自由、漂泊、自殺等の奔放な歌を低唱してゐた。
（中略）
私は詩人になりたいと思つた。
けれど、私の詩稿はパンの代りにはなりませぬでした。
ある時、私は、文字の代りに絵の形式で詩を画いて見た。それが以外にもある雑誌に発表せられることになつたので、臆病な私の心は歓喜した。」
（編者注）「夢二画集 春の巻」は、竹久夢二が1909年（明治42）に処女出版した本。それまでの新聞や雑誌への投稿に使った版木を活用して画と文章を組み合わせて編集した。江戸時代から受け継がれた目の細い浮世絵の美人画に対し、結婚相手の他万喜をモデルとした目の大きな和装美人を描くというセンセーショナルな手法を用いたことから大評判となり、彼の描く女性は「夢二式美人」と呼ばれるようになりました。
1. WHAT YUMEJI WANTED TO BE
What Yumeji really wanted to be was a poet, not a painter.
In his first book, ``Yumeji Art Collection Spring Volume,'' he wrote:
"In the spring when I turned 16, I moved to the city. At that time, I had no intention of becoming a painter.
I just wanted to reach the height of worldly glory in a high palace with a vermilion-paneled corridor.
However, my nomadic lifestyle in the city eventually made me feel ashamed of even mingling with the crowd. Walking through the chalky streets of Ginza with downcast eyes, they hugged their chests and chanted wild songs about revolution, freedom, wandering, and suicide.
(snip)
I wanted to be a poet.
However, my poetry was no substitute for bread.
One day, I tried writing a poem in the form of pictures instead of words. My timid heart was overjoyed when it unexpectedly ended up being published in a certain magazine.”
<Editor's Note> "Yumeji Art Collection Spring Volume" is a book first published by Yumeji Takehisa in 1909 (Meiji 42). Utilizing the woodblocks he had previously used for submissions to newspapers and magazines, he edited a combination of images and text. In contrast to the narrow-eyed ukiyo-e paintings of beautiful women inherited from the Edo period, his use of a sensational technique of depicting large-eyed Japanese-style beauties modeled after Maki, in addition to his marriage partner, gained a great reputation. became known as the ``Yumeji-style beauty.''
