The Art Exhibition "Kyousai kawanabe- Master painter and his student Josiah Conde"
This afternoon,I visited The marunouchi Mitsubishi ichigo-kan art museum, Tokyo (ichgo-kan means 1st, building). This building was design for Mitsubishi Corporation 120 years ago.(But, This building isn't original)
Today's exhibition is "Kyousai kawanabe- Master painter and his student Josiah Conder". Josiah Conder(1852-1920) is English architect. He was worked in Meiji period in Japan that he was designed by a lot of important modern buildings in Japan. He is today called "The father of modern architecture of Japan". Conder was architect this building too.
Kyosai Kawanabe(1831-1889) is painter, that he worked at Edo from Meiji period in Japan. and Conder was his student and friend. I watched Conder's artwork and thought that he was very good student.
Kyosai's artwork is traditional and very unconventional. I was very impressed for his artwork.
If you are interested in his picture,you should visit Japan or the United States.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in America has a lot of his masterpieces now. Because his name was forgotten for a while in Japan.

私は今日の午後、東京の丸の内にある三菱1号館美術館に行きました。
このビルは120年前に三菱商社の為に設計されました。（現在の建物はオリジナルではありません。）
今日の展覧会は「河鍋暁斎と、弟子ジョサイア・コンドル」でした。
ジョサイア・コンドルは英国人の建築家で、明治時代の日本で働きました。彼は当時の重要な建物を多く設計して、現在では「日本の現代建築の父」と呼ばれています。かれはこの美術館の建物も設計しています。
河鍋暁斎は江戸時代から明治時代の画家で、コンドルは彼の弟子でした。私はコンドルの絵を見ましたが彼はとても良い生徒だったと思います。
暁斎の絵は伝統的ですが、とても独創的で、私はとても感銘をうけました。
もし、彼の絵に興味をもったら、日本かアメリカを訪れて下さい。
アメリカのメトロポリタン美術館が彼の代表作を多数持っています。
なぜなら、日本でしばらく彼の名前は忘れられていたからです。

This was very interesting, and not too many mistakes! I also found some English/Japanese writing about Kyosai Kawanabe and Josiah Conder here: http://waigaya.at.webry.info/201507/article_1.html
