Art of the Meiji and Taisho Periods

Japanese: 明治・大正時代美術 - めいじたいしょうじだいびじゅつ
Art of the Meiji and Taisho Periods
This article provides an overview of modern Japanese art from the Meiji period to the early Showa period. However, its beginnings had already begun in the late Edo period, and without the foundation of highly refined Edo period art, the new developments that followed the Meiji Restoration would not have been possible. From this perspective, we will touch on Edo art as its prehistory, then look at the state of Meiji art that was shaped by its encounter with Western civilization and art, and treat the period from the 1900s onwards as Taisho art, from the acceptance of Impressionism. Please also refer to the entries for "Official Exhibitions" and "Contemporary Art" to understand the trends in modern and contemporary art, and the entry for "Modern Architecture" to understand the trends in architecture in the Meiji and Taisho periods.

Japanese:
ここでは日本の近代美術を,明治から昭和初期までを通して概観する。しかし,すでに江戸時代後期からその胎動は始まっており,また高度に洗練された江戸時代美術の素地なくしては,明治維新以降の新たな展開もなしえなかったであろう。この観点から,その前史としての江戸美術に触れ,次いで西欧文明,西欧美術との出会いによって形成されてゆく明治美術の様相を見,明治40年代の印象派受容以降を大正美術として扱う。なお近・現代美術の動向の理解のため〈官展〉〈現代美術〉の項を,また明治・大正の建築の流れを理解するため〈近代建築〉の項を,あわせて参照されたい。
