Chapter 817: Folk Culture
After coming out of Ota's jewelry store, Li Yi didn't go to other homes, firstly, it was a little late, and secondly, the exhibition would be open for a week, but if he was serious, he would be able to see all the exhibits in two days at most, and the rest was time to visit those small shops one by one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he returned to the hotel, he hadn't had long to rest before he received a call from Hiroshi Kiyotake.
The two first chatted a few words of nonsense that were not nutritious, and Qingwu Hongji cautiously tested: "Mr. Li Yi, I heard that Meisha said that you received a handscroll from Master Lingchuan Shixuan from Kant, this ...... Can you let me take a look first? ”
Li Yi smiled, waiting for your call.
More than half an hour later, Kiyotake Hiroshi hurried over, and with him, in addition to Aida Misa, there was also a thin old man with white hair.
"Mr. Li Yi, let me introduce you first, this is a famous ukiyo-e painter, Master Shin Ejima, who has a deep study of the works of Shixuan Hishikawa......
After exchanging a few polite words, Li Yi took out the handscroll.
"This handscroll is indeed the work of Master Shixuan of Lingchuan, and it should be a study work of his late experiments with new styles, which is very precious!" After looking at it for nearly an hour, Hiejima nodded affirmatively, confirming the authenticity of this handscroll.
"Mr. Li Yi, I heard Qingwu say that you once wanted to exchange this handscroll for the Ota family's set of emerald noodles, but Ota refused, is there such a thing?"
"Yes, but the value of a set of emerald heads is obviously not as good as this work, so even if Ota agrees, he will have to come up with some other cultural relics."
Hiejima Shen nodded in a deep voice, although he had never seen the set of Ota family's set of emerald heads, but it was clear that no matter how precious that set of heads was, it was not enough to offset the value of this handscroll, and it was even far away.
"Mr. Li Yi, I am also very interested in your handscroll, but I may not be able to take out so many dotted emerald jewelry, you see, can I replace it with other things?"
"Of course, this is no problem, but I still hope that this can include a set of emerald jewelry, after all, the meaning is different."
Hiejima Shen glanced at Qingwu Hongji, and nodded again, indeed, the value of a complete set of jewelry is far from being comparable to some sporadic ones, it's just, in such a hurry, where can they go to find another set of heads?
"Time is not a problem, I have to stay in Japan for at least 10 days, I think it should be enough." Since Li Yi took out this handscroll, he didn't plan to bring it back, not to mention that the news was leaked, even if he wanted to bring it back, I am afraid he might not be able to do so.
"That's good, Mr. Li Yi, time is pressing, I won't delay your rest too much, and I look forward to meeting you next time." The matter was decided, and Bi Jiangdao Shen didn't want to delay for a moment, and immediately got up to say goodbye, which also made Li Yi roughly see the value of this handscroll.
The next day, the antique exhibition at the Tokyo Big Sight opened, and Li Yi rushed to the venue as soon as possible. Because Kiyotake Hiroshi once told him that there were a lot of good things that were sold on the first day of the fair, although some of them could still be seen on the booth later, but it was just to make the show look less fragmented, in fact, there was no chance.
This principle is the same as the biennale that Li Yi participated in before, but can this thing be generalized? If one is sold, you can put one more piece, and the exhibitors should ask for it!
"The main reason is that some precious antiques have a great impact on the grade of the exhibition, so the organizers hope that when they encounter such antiques, exhibitors can stay. Slowly, a rule was formed, the more non-sale items marked on the booth of the store, the higher the quality of the antiques in the store......"
"I rubbed it, and it was really amazing, not only the mechanism of the Biennale was introduced, but even the domestic real estate developers learned the ......"
"Real estate?" The Biennale Kiyotake Hiroshi understands it, but what does the antique exhibition have to do with real estate?
Thinking of the confusion of Qingwu Hongji at that time, Li Yi smiled slightly, if this Nima dared to let some unscrupulous businessmen in China participate in the exhibition, he dared to label all the exhibits as non-sale, and then slowly explain to you what is booked, what is sold, and what is a second-hand new house......
The exhibition was very large, and it was divided into four halls, with the themes of porcelain, furniture, calligraphy and painting, and auction halls. The total area is not much different from that of the Hong Kong jewelry fair, and there seem to be more stalls.
Li Yi was going to go to the calligraphy and painting and other museums first, because although his porcelain collection was still far from the system, the famous porcelain of all dynasties had already been collected. Moreover, in this other hall, there is also the possibility of encountering some strange things that you have not seen before.
When he arrived at the place, he found that there was a big gap between the situation at the scene and the previous description of Kiyotake Hongji. Kiyotake Hiroshi described to him a rush to buy, but in fact, there were not many customers at the scene, much fewer than the Hong Kong jewelry fair.
In fact, this is the phenomenon that antique exhibitions should have, after all, not everyone is interested in this thing, and they can distinguish the real from the fake.
"In this case, you don't need to be in a hurry, turn slowly, buy two pieces if you can meet the right one, and it doesn't matter if you can't touch them."
The plan was decided, Li Yi suddenly relaxed, he first received a visit guide, found the location of the calligraphy and painting hall from the map, and then took Gu Feng to walk towards that side.
The location of the calligraphy and painting hall is actually Hall 6 of the Tokyo Big Sight, located in the southwest of the entire venue, very close to the location where Li Yi came in, so a few minutes later, he rushed to the gate of the calligraphy and painting hall.
"This painting is good, it can be quiet and peaceful and full of power, it should be a masterpiece."
As soon as he walked into the hall, Li Yi saw a huge landscape painting, this painting has only two colors, one is a slightly blue sky in the pale, and the other is a hill dyed golden by maple leaves and mountain stones.
If you look closely, in the midst of the goldenness, there is a big tree with a few black trunks exposed, and this wonderful brush, which does not even occupy a hundredth of the whole picture, makes the whole picture seem to come alive at once.
"Autumn, Higashiyama Kaii, no wonder ......"
Li Yi saw that the inscription of this painting was actually the work of Higashiyama Kaii in 1958, and he not only let out a soft admiration.
In the art history of modern Japan, Kaii Higashiyama has the title of the saint of modern painting, and his landscape paintings often express pure nature that has not been polluted by modern civilization, and he is best at enhancing the sense of space while maintaining flatness, and lyrical allegorical in decoration. His paintings are elegant and full of poetry and philosophy, and they reveal a personality that is different from other painters.
This characteristic of him is inseparable from his profound literary skills, because he is also a famous essayist, and it is said that his prose is called "Shuangbi" with Yasunari Kawabata, a "giant" figure in the Japanese literary circle, and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is not easy to achieve the ultimate in one field, but Dongshan Kaii can actually achieve the ultimate in two very different fields at the same time, which has to make people feel his genius.
took a look at the position where the price tag was placed, and as expected, it was written in three Japanese kanji for non-sale, but Li Yi speculated that most of the non-sale items were not sold, but that they really did not sell them. Moreover, there is a limit to this so-called non-sale, as long as the conditions are right, it should still be possible to get this work.
"Little Japan, although it is beautiful, but if the price is too great, it is a little worthless." I have to say, just like Japanese comics and AV, as a nation that has existed independently for thousands of years, there are still many things in Japanese culture that can arouse Li Yi's interest, but as a Chinese person, it's okay to browse with an appreciative eye occasionally, and if you really have to spend a lot of effort to collect, Li Yi won't do it.
In addition to Kaii Higashiyama's work, Kaii's booth was huge, and there were also many works by famous modern and modern Japanese painters, such as the works of popular artist Yoshitomo Nara, who was clearly influenced by the Japanese manga and animation style, and the works of Yayoi Kusama, an alternative avant-garde art painter, all of which showcased the strong relationships and strength of the exhibitor.
Compared with this exhibitor, the exhibitor who occupied a booth of about the same size opposite was a completely different style, he mainly displayed Japanese folk culture, not only a variety of kimonos, but also some equipment and costumes of samurai of various eras, in addition to many Japanese yokai, kabuki dolls, Japanese specialty bone china, Li Yi even saw some obviously modern imitation of Chinese porcelain......
This is a sleeved kimono that is generally used by married women for more formal occasions. This is the middle furisode of the furisode kimono, and it is most worn at coming-of-age ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and banquets. This kimono is mostly used for dates and shopping. ”
A Japanese girl wearing a kimono with furisode was explaining various kimonos to a group of European guests, and Li Yi also followed behind with a smile.
"This is a shrine maiden costume, when praying to the gods, they will also bring flower hairpins and golden crowns, and at half past ten, we will have a performance to pray to the gods here, and the participants in the performance are real shrine maidens, everyone is welcome to come and watch it."
Li Yi is very interested in the soft and gentle introduction of the Japanese girl, this kind of promotion mode, but it is much smarter than simply inviting some models to walk the stage, brighten the thighs, and his museum seems to be able to set aside a separate venue for some similar performances on a regular basis......
