ランタン作家・三上真輝がライフワークとして制作する大作『鳥獣戯画〜お宮参り図〜』。その一部が、待望の京都初公開を迎えます。日本の漫画の原点と称される国宝「鳥獣戯画」に着想を得て、完成時には全108体が登場する壮大なプロジェクトです。プロジェクトの推進役である佐賀・嬉野の旅館「和多屋別荘」のサポートのもと、現在までに約60体が制作されていますが、その全貌は未だ謎に包まれています。今回は、その中から選び抜かれた作品群を展示します。 動物たちのコミカルで人間味あふれる表情と、生命感に満ちたその躍動感は、見る人を作品世界へと引き込みます。本展は、国宝が生まれた京都へ、三上版・鳥獣戯画がまさに「帰京」を果たす記念すべき機会です。壮大な物語が垣間見えるこの世界を、どうぞご堪能ください。
This work is a part of “Chōjū-giga ~Omiyamairi-zu~ (Frolicking Animals’ Shrine Visit),” a grand masterpiece and life’s work by lantern artist Masateru Mikami, now making its long-awaited Kyoto premiere.
Inspired by the national treasure “Chōjū-giga,” hailed as the origin of Japanese manga, this epic project is slated to feature 108 characters upon completion. While around 60 have been created so far with the support of the Wataya Besso ryokan in Ureshino, Saga—the driving force behind the project—the full scope remains shrouded in mystery.
On display is a selection of carefully chosen pieces from this collection. The animals’ comical, human-like expressions and their life-like dynamism draw viewers deep into the world of the artwork. This exhibition marks a true “homecoming” for Mikami’s Chōjū-giga to Kyoto, the city where the original national treasure was born. We hope you will enjoy this glimpse into a magnificent story.

Born in Goshogawara, Aomori Prefecture in 1954 and currently based in Fukuoka, this artist is credited with the revival of Goshogawara’s towering “Tachinebuta” festival floats. Standing 22 meters tall (the equivalent of a seven-story building), these spectacular floats were brought back to life after an 80-year hiatus and now attract 1.2 million tourists annually. His works have gained significant attention and are featured at prominent locations such as Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, Canal City, and Nagasaki Airport.
