Ayaka Wada (ANGERME) presents "Ukiyo-e" Vol.05 Toshusai Sharaku "Actor Otani Oniji 3rd as the yakko Edobei"
Have you ever looked over a painting by a famous artist on display at an art gallery or art exhibition and found yourself wondering what makes this painting a famous painting? Do we look at these paintings with such appreciation because the artist is famous and has received praise from people around the world? Famous paintings are famous because society and all the textbooks and guidebooks tell us so. That’s basically it.

Ayaka Wada(S/mileage) presents "Ukiyo-e" Vol.04 Hiroshige Utagawa ”The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, Evening Squall at Shono”
I always get a little bit excited whenever it starts to rain. The reason being, I get to use my Monet "Water Lilies" print umbrella. It's no so fun when it suddenly starts to rain and I'm unprepared, though. The only thing you can do at that point is run. And that’s the exact moment depicted in “Evening Squall at Shono,” one of the ukiyo-e prints in Hiroshige Utagawa's famous series, "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido."

#9 “I just can’t live without Urbangarde”: S/mileage’s Kanon Fukuda Goes One-on-One with her Idol, Yoko Hamasaki
One of the current idol groups, whose concerts you can go and see and really enjoy without a single negative thing to say, is S/mileage. I highly recommend them to anyone who has yet to see them perform. They gave their first Budokan performance on July 15th 2014, but what surprised me about this concert most, was the sheer number of young female fans in attendance.

Ayaka Wada (ANGERME) presents "Ukiyo-e" Vol.03 Utamaro Kitagawa "Young Lady Blowing on a Poppin"
In modern-day terms, Utamaro would be like one of the current, popular photographers who takes photos for idols and models. Utamaro was active in the 1790s, when ukiyo-e was in its heyday. It was definitely a generation full of superstars.
