Mizue - Mizue

Japanese: みづゑ - みづえ

An art magazine first published by Oshita Tojiro in July 1905. "Mizue" means "water painting," and initially aimed to popularize watercolor painting, but from the end of the Taisho period, it gradually came to focus on modern painting. In 1966, the wartime regime was strengthened and restrictions on art magazines were imposed, so the magazine changed its title to "Shin Bijutsu," but in January 1968, due to the second round of publishing restrictions, it was published as "Bijutsu." In September 1971, the name was changed back to "Mizue." It ceased publication in 1992. As one of Japan's leading art magazines, it made a great contribution to the enlightenment and popularization of art.

1905年7月，大下藤次郎によって創刊された美術雑誌。「みづゑ」は「水絵」のことで，初めは水彩画普及の目的をもっていたが，大正末期から次第に近代絵画中心に編集された。 41年戦時体制の強化による美術雑誌の統制で『新美術』と改題，43年の第2次出版統制によって，44年1月から『美術』として発行。 46年9月再び『みづゑ』の名称に戻った。 92年休刊。日本の代表的美術雑誌として美術の啓蒙普及に果した功績は大きい。
