江戸時代の浮世絵と、現代の浮世絵は違います。 浮世は「現代」という意味ですが、現代の浮世絵は伝統を踏襲しながら「現代」を盛り込んでいくものです。 日本画と浮世絵の違いは、江戸時代からの伝統の踏襲を自覚する事にあるんじゃないかしら。 3. What exactly is Ukiyoe of today? Ukiyoe of today is unlike those of the Edo Period. "Ukiyo" in ukiyoe means "floating world," making the modern ukiyoe a presentation of today while preserving the tradition of yesterday. The difference between ukiyoe and traditional Japanese art probably lies in clear a wariness off tradition from the Edo Period. |
