The world of Ryohei Yanagihara, an illustrator who loves ships, is expanding!
Sneak into an artistic space! YOKOHAMA ART SPOT FILE
Near the sea, experience the works of an author who loves ships and Yokohama. Ryohei Yanagihara Art Museum
Ryohei Yanagihara Art Museum opened on March 27, 2018 (Tuesday) inside the Yokohama Minato Museum, where the Nippon Maru, a symbol of Minato Mirai, is preserved and exhibited. This is the only museum in Japan that permanently displays the works of Ryohei Yanagihara (1931-2015), an illustrator and painter who created Uncle Toris, the popular mascot character of Suntory's Toris Whiskey, which is representative of the Showa era. Mr. Yanagihara was a close friend of Mr. Yanagihara, and his family wanted the 4,848 works donated to Yokohama City in 2016 to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. Apparently it has been decided to open a new location.
The exhibition room is divided into four themes: ``Ryo. and Ship Paintings,'' ``Illustration and Design,'' ``Uncle Triss and Advertising,'' and ``Special Exhibitions.''
"Illustration and Design" zone. Here you can learn about the diverse activities of illustrators and graphic designers, including graphic design, illustrations, animation, manga, book bindings, and picture books.
Items that Mr. Yanagihara loved. The jacket, turtleneck knit, and hat...it's fashionable. Other items such as cameras and glasses...Just like the artwork, I can't help but take a close look at them.
Uncle Tris's animation is also wonderful!! (If I had to be greedy, I'd want to watch it while drinking alcohol...♡)
The "Special Exhibition" zone that was being held on the day of the interview was titled "60 Years of the Birth of Uncle Triss", and in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the birth of "Uncle Triss" in July 2018, illustrations and novelties were lined up. I was there. Currently, ``Yokohama Ships and Ports'' is being held instead.
In addition to lithographs, there are original framed stamp sets, postcards, mobile cleaners, mugs, picture books, and more based on Yanagihara's works!
This is what I was personally interested in. A pin badge featuring Uncle Tris dressed as various people. Sailor, Shinsengumi, Daikoku, and Western Uncle Tris too! (LOL) Pin badge each ¥648 (tax included)
The works of Ryohei Yanagihara, who loved ships, were being featured in a place where ships were moored right in front of them...As I looked at each work one by one, I realized that it was a really smart move. When you visit Minato Mirai, take a walk towards the sailing ship Nippon Maru. There, a cute, fashionable, and extremely cool "Uncle Tris" is waiting.
