Title: Taira no Kiyomori Kaii o Miruzu Author: Hiroshige Utagawa / Around 1843-47 (1843-47) / Woodcut multicolor printing, large-format nishiki-e Triptych 〈Metropolitan Museum Collection〉 Material: Rayon Fujiet Print: Overprint Button: Black Pearl Button DETAIL OF ALOHA SHIRT Utagawa Hiroshige has a strong impression of working on masterpieces such as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido. Although he sometimes left anecdotes about warlords in his works, they are rare and are considered very valuable. The theme of this shirt, "Taira no Kiyomori Seeing a Mystery," is one of them. After moving his capital to Fukuhara (around present-day Kobe), Taira no Kiyomori is haunted by nightmares. One day, when he was standing in front of the garden to see the snow that had fallen, he saw that the pine trees and even the lanterns that had been planted in the garden from the mountains in the distance were filled with countless skeletons, looking at him. This work expresses the story of Kiyomori glaring back at the skeletons, and they melt away in an instant, using an all-over pattern on a Hawaiian shirt. Based on the original triptych, the design is constructed with the image of each scene being projected on the screen while flashing back. Japanese Designs National Treasure of Japan Focusing on the painters of the Edo period, when Japanese arts and culture expanded further, we recreated the works of these great masters on canvas called Aloha shirts to create designs that Japan boasts to the world. Reviving the passion that was put into the present. This series, which began as a collaboration with Katsushika Hokusai's work, has added a new artist to the next development. © The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Made in Japan
