Kyoto's Autumn | The Surprisingly Secluded Kitamura Museum 🌿
Hiroshi KyotoHiroshi Kyoto
北村謹次郎の旧邸「四君子苑」は、京都市上京区河原町今出川の東に位置し、鴨川に面して正面に如意ヶ岳の大文字を望みます。この辺りは古くから宮家や摂家が競って別荘を営んだ場所でもあります。 昭和の数寄者と言われた北村謹次郎は両親の影響で茶道に親しみ、美術品の蒐集などをして審美眼を磨き、自らの美意識の結晶というべき住まいをこの地に築きました。 建物は茶室と母屋に分かれています。茶室(珍散蓮)は京数寄屋の棟梁、北村捨次郎が手がけました。母屋は戦後進駐軍に接収され改造されたため、昭和38年に吉田五十八の設計で建築され、庭は佐野越守(えっしゅ)により現在の姿に変わりました。 四君子苑の名は、菊の高貴、竹の剛直、梅の清冽、蘭の芳香を四君子と讃える中国の風習に由来しています。菊、竹、梅(むめ)、蘭の頭文字をつなげると「きたむら」になること、またその品位風格にあやかることを願い自ら命名したとのことです。 The former residence of Shojiro Kitamura, "Shikimikoen," is located east of the Imadegawa River in Kawaramachi, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, and faces the Kamo River with a view of the capital letter of Nyoigatake. This area is also the place where the imperial family and the regents competed to run villas for a long time. Sanjiro Kitamura, who was said to be a scholar of the Showa era, became familiar with the tea ceremony under the influence of his parents, collected works of art, etc. I built it on the ground. The building is divided into a tea room and a main building. The tea room (Chinsanren) was designed by Sukiya Kitamura, the builder of Kyo Sukiya. Since the main building was requisitioned and remodeled by the postwar troops, it was built in 1963 with the design of Isoya Yoshida, and the garden was changed to its current form by Esshu. The name of the four princes is derived from the Chinese custom of praising the noble of chrysanthemums, the rigidity of bamboo, the Qing dynasty of plums, and the fragrance of orchids as four princes. It is said that he named himself with the hope that if the acronyms of chrysanthemum, bamboo, plum, and orchid are connected, it will become "Kitamura" and that it will be dignified.

四君子苑が素晴らしいです。 実業家で茶人でもあった北村謹次郎(1904-1991)の収集品を保存するために1975年(昭和50年)に財団法人北村文華財団が設立され、美術館は1977年(昭和52年)開館した。所蔵品には国の重要文化財33件を含む。 北村家は、奈良県吉野地方で代々林業を営む旧家である。北村は、家業の林業を営むかたわら、夫婦で茶道と美術品収集に励んだ。茶人のコレクションという性格から、茶碗をはじめとする茶器の名品が多い。また、傑出した茶人であった北村の眼で選ばれた絵画、古筆などにも名品が揃っている。これら掛軸類も茶席の床(とこ)に掛けることを意識して選ばれた、広い意味の「茶道具」の範疇に入るものであろう。 隣接する「四君子苑」と呼ばれる茶苑・茶室(北村旧邸)は東山の緑を借景にした昭和数寄屋の傑作で、春と秋の一定期間に一般公開される。庭内には国の重要文化財指定の石灯籠2点、石塔(宝篋印塔)1点がある。

Das Museum selber ist absolut schön und sehenswert. Ebenso sehenswert ist das ehemalige Wohnhaus Kitamuras, das über einen wunderschönen, großen Garten und diverse Räumlichkeiten für die Teezeremonie verfügt. Ich war verzaubert von der Schönheit des Ortes. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist, dass die Beschilderungen und das Infomaterial gänzlich auf Japanisch sind. Leider sind Fotos gänzlich unerlaubt, so dass es mir nicht möglich war die Beschilderungen zu fotografieren, um sie so zu übersetzen. Der tiefere Bedeutungsgehalt vieler der Objekte blieb mir dadurch verborgen. Vielleicht ist es aber auch nicht gewünscht das Museum einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen, um seinen intimen...
