Square inch

A literary and artistic magazine from the end of the Meiji period. From May 1907 (Meiji 40) to July 1911. 35 volumes in total. Published by Hosunsha. At first, the cover and cover were eight pages long, then 12 pages, and later 16 pages. It was first published as a coterie magazine by young Western-style painters from the Taiheiyo Gakai group, Ishii Hakutei, Morita Tsunetomo, and Yamamoto Kanae. In the second year, Kurata Hakuyo, Kosugi Misei (Hoan), and Hirafuku Hyakusui joined the coterie, and in the third year, Oda Kazuma and Sakamoto Hanjiro joined. As an art magazine, it published a wide variety of lithographs and woodblock prints by each artist, in addition to exhibition reviews, art essays, and art comics. At the same time, it opened its doors to people outside the coterie, and promoted exchanges with literature in particular. The main contributors were Hakushu Kitahara, Mokutaro Kinoshita, and Kotaro Takamura. The final issue was a memorial to Shigeru Aoki, who passed away in March of that year. A reprint edition (1972-73, Sansaisha) is available.
