私はお客さんにいつも「どこを回って来たか？」と聞きます。このごろ、美術館関係だと答えるお客さんが多いです。特に、長野市の水野美術館の今の展示会「四大浮世絵師展」が人気あります。北斎、広重、歌麿、写楽の四人の作品を同時に見える機会がなかなないらしいです。そして、我々欧米人に最も人気がある北斎の「神奈川沖浪裏」(SHINさん、有難う!）の実物も見える。これは凄い！９月５日から１０月１２日までです。若女将と二人でデートで行ってこなきゃ！
注：９月２７日（日）に版画体験も予定しているそうです。「消しゴムで版画をつくろう」というワークショップです。

I always ask our guests what places they have been sightseeing on their way to Kamesei, and lately many have been replying "Museums". One that is getting a lot of attention lately is the Mizuno Art Museum in Nagano City. Their current display is called "The 4 Ukiyoe Masters". This is a rare chance to see actual works by Hiroshige, Hokusai, Sharaku and Utamaro all in one place. They even have Hokusai's "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" original print on display. (You know the one with a huge wave framing Mt. Fuji.)
The show runs through October 12th. Mari and I will have to go on a date together and go see it!
Also, on Sunday, September 27th, there will be a Wood Block Print Workshop, where you can make your own ukiyoe using an eraser. Check it out!
