Kiyoshi,Japanese Gogh, in Kenrokuen-garden

Kiyoshi Yamashita

Before I posted the article about Japanese handicapped person painter "Kiyoshi Yamashita" here.He yearned the great French artist "Vincent Willem van Gogh".Later he was called "Japanese Gogh" in Japan.

Vincent Willem van Gogh

 Please read the previous post on 13,January,2017.This article's tytle is "Outsider painting, the gifted who called Japanese Gogh".
 He strolled all Japan and went back to his handicapped person's facility.And by only his memory he drew the painting or the collage.

Indeed he went over to France for his work and produced some drawing. This year I found the drawing which "Kiyoshi" went to our home town,Kanazawa city,Ishikawa pref and drew.

Kenrokuen-garden by Kiyoshi

It is just his work,"Kenrokuen-garden" which is the one of 3 greatest Japanese traditional garden. The lord of Kaga clan,present Kanazawa city,Smurai Maeda family possesed this garden and Kanazawa castle next to this garden.

the crown prince and princess of Denmark

 Last year the prince and princess of Denmark visited Kenrokuen-garden for their official duty.

　Luckily I could see this "Kenrokuen-garden drawing" in his old book.According to this,he drew this picture in 1957,61years ago from now.If possible, I hope to rend this pic to the foreign museum,especially, France.Because "Kiyoshi" admired "France" and our hometown, Kanazawa city, is the sister city with Nancy in France.
 If you are interested in or agree on my idea, please contact me via this blog.

 And surprisingly Kiyoshi's producer .

"Dr. Rokusaburo Shikiba found the famous Japanese artist "Yayoi Kusama". 

At that time no one knew her.
