愛知県の春日井市にある道風記念館において、琉球時代の様々な書を展示する企画展が行われた。

初めて訪れたが、江戸時代から、この地は平安時代に書の名人で三跡の一人にも数えられている、小野道風の生誕地であると考えられていたようで、その縁で、道風記念館という立派な施設がある。

At the Dofu Memorial Museum in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, a special exhibition was held to display various calligraphies of the Ryukyu period.

From the Edo period, this place has been thought to be the birthplace of Ono Dofu, which is an expert in calligraphy and counted as one of the three traces since the Edo era, and by the edge, There is a fine facility called a memorial hall.

琉球という国は、明や清、江戸幕府とも関係を持っていて、大陸の文化と日本の文化の双方の影響を受けて、独自の文化が生まれていた。

それは、書の世界にも現れており、その展覧会では、16世紀から20世紀初頭にかけての、様々な書の作品が展示されていた。

The country called Ryukyu has relationships with Ming and Qing and the Edo Shogunate, and was influenced both by the culture of the continent and Japanese culture, and a unique culture was born.

It also appeared in the world of books, and at the exhibition various works of works from the 16th century to the early 20th century were displayed.

私が一番目にしたかったのは、程順則の作品で、2点が展示されていた。

程順則は、17世紀後半から18世紀の初めにかけて活躍した、久米村出身の人物で、清にも留学経験を持ち、琉球王国が生んだ最大の文化人の一人と言われている。

琉球の使節の一員として日本を訪れた経験もあり、その際に近衛家煕と知り合い、琉球に戻った後も交流を続けた。

展示されていた作品の一つは、その近衛家煕に宛てて書いた詩の下書きの文章。下書きといえども、実に丁寧に書かれていて、立派な作品になっている。

他には、琉球の最大の書家と言われる、鄭嘉訓。こちらは5点が展示されていた。

鄭嘉訓の書は、躍動感があってダイナミックなものだが、どこかで品格も感じさせる。

その息子の鄭元偉の書は、江戸を訪れた際に儒者であった佐藤一斎に高く評価されて、その後も交流を続けたという。

The thing I wanted the first time was Tei Jyunsoku's work, two points were exhibited.

Tei is a person from Kume village who was active from the latter half of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century, has been studying abroad in Qing and is said to be one of the biggest cultural people born by the Kingdom of the Ryukyus.

There was also experience of visiting Japan as a member of the Ryukyu envoys, at that time he got acquainted with Konoe Iehiro and continued exchanging even after he returned to Ryukyus.

One of the works that was being exhibited is a sentence of a poem draft written for Konoe Iehiro. Even the drafts are written very carefully and become a fine work.

In addition, it is said that Ryukyu 's biggest calligrapher, Tei Kakun. Five points were exhibited here.

The work of Tei is dynamic with a sense of dynamic, but also makes the feeling somewhere.

The son's book of Tei Genni was highly appreciated by Confucius Sato Issai when he visited Edo, he said that he continued to interact afterwards.

他にも、琉球を訪れた清の役人たちの書も展示されていて、当時の琉球王国が、国際的な王国であったことが伺えた。

記念館の前は大きな公園になっていて、その一角では、柳の枝に飛びつくカエルを見て、書の練習の励んだという、小野道風のエピソードにちなんだ展示物もあった。

Besides, the works of the officials of the Qing Ou who visited the Ryukyus was also exhibited and it was heard that the Kingdom of the Ryukyus was the international kingdom.

In front of the memorial hall it was a big park, and there was also an exhibit named after Ono Dofu episode that saw frog jumping to the branches of the willow and encouraged writing practice.
