Meiji The project is based on the collection of the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, which commemorates the Meiji Emperor and the beginning of Japan's imperialism and modernisation. The project reconstructs this group of propaganda paintings by removing the idols, portraits and figures from the scene. The museum is one of the first western buildings in Japan, built in the outer garden of the Meiji Shrine, and has a permanent exhibition of forty Nihon-ga (a style using traditional Japanese colours) and forty oil paintings depicting the life of the Meiji Emperor and Empress and events significant to the new imperial state since the Meiji Restoration. The collection was completed in October 1926 and features 80 paintings by various artists. Each work measures 3 x 2.7 metres and is displayed chronologically in two large galleries. このプロジェクトは、明治天皇と日本の帝国主義と近代化の始まりを記念する明治記念絵画館のコレクションに基づいている。このプロパガンダ絵画群から、偶像、肖像画や人物をすべて取り除いてを再構築するものである。明治神宮外苑に建てられた日本初の西洋建築のひとつであるこの美術館には、明治天皇・皇后の生涯や明治維新以降の新皇国にとって重要な出来事を描いた日本画（日本の伝統的な色彩を用いた様式）と油彩画40点が常設展示されている。コレクションは1926年10月に完成し、さまざまな画家による80点の絵画が展示されている。各作品の大きさは3×2.7メートルで、2つの大きな展示室に年代順に展示されている。 |
