Issuikai - Issuikai

Japanese: 一水会 - いっすいかい
Issuikai - Issuikai

An art group for Western painting. It was founded in 1935 (Showa 10) when the Imperial Fine Arts Academy was reorganized and Arishima Ikuma, Ishii Hakutei, Yasui Sotaro, and Yamashita Shintaro, who were elders of the Nikakai at the time, were appointed as members of the Imperial Fine Arts Academy and left the independent art group Nikakai. They then conspired with Koyama Keizo, Kinoshita Takanori, Kinoshita Yoshinori, and Hazamai Inosuke, who had also left the Nikakai, to form the Issuikai in December of the following year (1961) with the aim of "disapproving of exhibition art, valuing technique, and respecting refined art." The first exhibition was held in December 1962, and since then, public exhibitions have been held every autumn, and many artists with a solid tendency toward realism have been added, making it a powerful support group for the Nitten Exhibition. Furthermore, a ceramics club was established in 1983 (Showa 33) with the participation of Arakawa Toyozo, Sakaida Kakiemon and others, but it is now separate.

Japanese:

洋画の美術団体。創立の契機は1935年(昭和10)の帝国美術院改組の際、当時二科会の長老であった有島生馬(ありしまいくま)、石井柏亭(はくてい)、安井曽太郎(そうたろう)、山下新太郎らが帝国美術院会員に新任され、在野の美術団体二科会を脱退したことにある。彼らは続いて二科会を去った小山敬三、木下孝則(たかのり)、木下義謙(よしのり)、硲伊之助(はざまいのすけ)らと図り、翌36年12月、「会場芸術を非とし、技術を重んじ、高雅なる芸術を尊重する」という趣旨のもとに一水会を結成した。37年12月に第一回展を開催、その後毎年秋に公募展を開き、堅実な写実的傾向を示す多くの作家を加え、現在日展の有力な支持団体となっている。なお陶芸部が、58年(昭和33)荒川豊蔵(とよぞう)、酒井田柿右衛門(かきえもん)らを迎えて新設されたが、現在は分かれている。
