"WOMEN DIVERS" OIL PAINTING BY KOBAYASHI-SKOKICHI

numerous paintings dealing with historical paint with their hands, while those of Tokyo
subjects, such as A Sea Fight by Yamakawa- paint with their heads. But the recent Mom-
Eiga and The Fan Target by Ogata-Gessan, busho art exhibition has shown that this local

as such. I have also to note the almost total _

disappearance of paintings in which an effec-
tive use of blank space is made. It must be
conceded that one of the valuable assets of the
traditional style of our painting is to present
only the essentials, leaving no small space of
the silk blank in such a way that it performs
its own function of depth and intensity. By the
Water in Winter (a pair of two-panelled screens)
by Takebayashi-Shuho was one of the very few pic-
tures in which the blank space was well utilized.

Great strides are being made by our artists
who use the oil medium. With the increase
of European architecture in Japan, the demand
for oil and water-colour paintings has grown
and their appreciation enhanced, giving stimulus
to the artists who have adopted the methods of
the West. I shall merely mention here some
of the works which were highly commendable.
Among the best were Picking Mulberry Leaves
and Summer Morning by Ota-Kijiro, A Fine
Breezy Day by Nagahara-Kotaro, A Peach
