美術館について About

Japanese English

ごあいさつ

八坂神社の門前の茶屋街から発展し、南座などの芝居小屋があったことから京都そして日本を代表する花街として名を馳せた祇園町。鍵善良房は江戸中期享保年間に創業以来、この地に集う人々にご愛顧賜り、文人墨客の方々をはじめ舌や目の肥えた皆様に育てて頂いて参りました。
このたびこの町の一角にZEN BI- 鍵善良房-KAGIZEN ART MUSEUM という小さな美術館を設立することになりました。この町から頂戴した高い文化の恩恵を皆様に少しでも知って頂き、この町の文化サロンのような場を継承していければというのがこの美術館の目的です。

Greeting

Gion grew from the teahouse district (chayagai) close to the gate to Yasaka Shrine, and eventually went on to gain fame as a leading entertainment quarter (hanamachi) in Kyoto, and throughout Japan, thanks to the Minami-za kabuki theater and other theaters in the area. Since its founding during the Kyoho Period (1716-1736), Kagizen Yoshifusa has enjoyed the patronage of the people of the area, and been frequented by writers, artists, and others with discerning tastes. Kagizen is now opening a small art museum called ZENBI (Kagizen Art Museum) in Gion. The aim of the museum is to share in some small way the blessings we have received from the refined culture of Gion and to continue Kagizen’s role as a local focus where people of culture can gather.
