“ SERENE AUTUMN ”
BY KOSAKA-SHIDEN
TOKYO.—The Meiji Kaigakai recently
held its annual exhibition in Uyeno
Park. It included, among others, work
of such noted artists as Noguchi-
Shohin, a lady Court artist, Imao-Keinen, also
a Court artist, Matsumoto - Fuko, Takashima-
Hokkai, Terazaki-Kogyo, Kawai-Gyokudo, Ko-
saka-Shiden, Ikegami-Shuho, and Tanaka-Raisho.
Marvellous dexterity with the brush was shown
in Kogyo’s Snow Landscape: by a single stroke
of the brush the further bank of a lake was vividly
suggested; the perspective value in the picture—
the trees and houses in the foreground and the
snow-covered hills in the distance-—was lightly,
yet effectively, shown. Gyokusho’s Rin-wa-sei also
possessed excellent qualities. There was a touch
of serenity in Shiden’s Pine Trees in the Moonlight
—the nobility of feeling which he usually ex-
presses in a more elaborate work, such as Serene
Autumn, here reproduced. Sakamaki-Kogyo, who
stands pre-eminent in “No” subjects, had Cor-
morant Fishing, in which the effect of light on
the clear river at night was well painted. Hokkai’s
sunflowers and oleander, Shohin’s Four Sages
(bamboo, plum blossoms, orchid and chrysan-
themum), Fuko’s Daruma, Shuho’s geese in
autumnal grass, Suzuki-Kason’s Peony, Moroboshi-
Raisho’s Snow Scene, Kobayashi-Gokyo’s Domestic
Fowls, Shimazaki-Ryuu’s Cat and Sparrow, all
possessed commendable qualities. Araki-Tanrei’s
Landscape after the impressionistic Sesshyu style,
Dan-Ranshyu’s Remaining Snow, realistic in treat-
ment, and Unno-Baijo’s heron standing among
reeds in an intense solitude, are among other
works that attracted considerable attention.
An exhibition of paintings by the Tenrai Gajuku
was worthy of notice. This comprised paintings
by more than one hundred pupils of Terazaki-
Kogyo, one of the leading contemporary artists,
whose work, such as Landscape and A Singer, both
of which were shown at a previous Mombusho
Exhibition, has been much admired for his masterly
“sunset on snow”
