野外彫刻庭園 The Outdoor Sculpture Garden
フランス館及び日本館の裏、佐白山公園に続く丘陵の一部を拓いて、1981年5月に野外彫刻庭園を開設しました。
木内克＜エーゲ海に捧ぐ＞、本郷新＜冬の像＞、清水多嘉示＜メディタッション＞、柳原義達＜道標一鴉＞、舟越保武＜原の城＞、淀井敏夫＜夏、流木と女＞など、我が国の具象彫刻界を代表する作家のいずれも代表作品といえる秀作19体が、竹林や四季折々の花樹を背景にしてあでやかな美の競演を繰り広げています。
In May 1981, a tract of land behind the French wing and Japanese wing of the museum extending part way up the hill that becomes Sashiroyama park, was opened up to from the Outdoor sculpture garden. At present, 19 works of sculpture stand in the garden, all of which are masterworks by representative Japanese sculptors in the figurative genre.
Standing in fascinating harmony with the seasonal beauties of the natural surroundings, are a rich array of pieces including Yoshi Kinouchi's Homage to the Aegean Sea, Shin Hongo's Figure of Winter, Takashi Shimizu's Meditation, Yoshitatsu Yanagihara's Milestone-Crow, Yasutake Funakoshi's Harano-Jo Castle and Toshio Yodoi's Summer, Driftwood and Woman. Against a backdrop of bamboo groves and seasonal flowering trees, these works create a splendid display of beauty.
