Hadji Murat. By Count
Leo Tolstoi. Illustrated
by E. E. Lanceray. (Petro-
grad : Golike and Wilborg.)
This posthumous work
of Leo Tolstoi, and at the
same time his last purely
literary creation, has in
these turbulent times
aroused considerable in-
terest in view of the military
operations in the Caucasus,
recalling as it does the long
struggle which the Russians
in years gone by waged with
the Mohammedan mountain
races before the country was
“an avenue of trees”
founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism, and stick
in two pieces of black charcoal for his eyes.) The
kakemono had, in place of a drawing, simply two
black dots with a little space between. Around
these black dots each observer is to visualise a form
of Daruma in snow. Only the essentials were
given with a sufficient suggestion in seventeen
syllables to stir up one’s recollections and imagina-
tion to complete the kakemono. These two kake-
mono, among others, suggested that indescribable
something which is so essential for cha-no-vu.

subdued. Tolstoi as a young
officer personally took part
in this campaign, which’was not lacking in events
of a romantic character, and at the end of his
long career as an author a highly dramatic episode
of these early years afforded him a motive for
a masterly piece of narrative in which the con-
trasts between European and Oriental culture
come into prominence. These contrasts, along
with the picturesque figures and costumes and
the imposing landscape background, also provide
the illustrator with a fruitful source of inspiration,
and the firm of Golike and Wilborg, well known
Wada-Eisaku, one of the
recognised masters of oil-
painting in Japan, held at
the galleries of Mitsukoshi
an individual exhibition
of his paintings on two
subjects: Fuji Mountain
and roses, among the best
being An Avenue of Trees,
showing Fuji as seen from
Yoshida-guchi, Fuji from
Miho, and Fuji in the
Morning from Lake
Kawaguchi. Later, at the
same galleries were exhi-
bited oil-paintings by four
noted artists : Ishikawa-
Toraji, Nakazawa - Hiro-
mitsu, Nakagawa-Hachiro,
and Yasuda-Minoru.
