Mizuno Toshikata – Part 7: The new Japanese painting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Meiji era brought sweeping cultural changes, leaving the art world at a crossroads between tradition and modernity. In this installment, we explore how Toshikata navigated this evolving landscape. Moving beyond the commercial constraints of printmaking, he joined a circle of progressive young artists and fierce intellectuals like Okakura Tenshin. Together, they sought to redefine the boundaries of genre and establish a “new” Japanese painting that honored the past while embracing the future.
