LANDSCAPE BY GYOKUSHO KAWABATA
TOKYO.—Gyokusho Kawabata, the leading
painter of the Marnyama school, recently
attained the age of 61. His pupils, desir-
ing to commemorate the event, arranged
an exhibition of his many years' work in Bijutsu
Kyokwai in Ueno Park.
Gyokusho learned his art under Raisho Nakajima
in Kyoto, and afterwards came to Tokyo and began
independent work. His name became famous
when he taught with Hogai Kano and Gaho
Hashimoto, in Tokyo, at the time of the first estab-
lishment of the Tokyo Art School. He survived

both Hogai and Gaho, and still holds his former
position in the school.
His paintings have become so popular that he
finds considerable difficulty in supplying the
demand for them. Among the exhibited works,
the best, we think, is the one which represents
spring scenery, now the property of Toyotaro
Aoyama. Though the method employed is not new,
it reminds us that he knew the Chinese style of
painting as well as the Japanese style of Marnyama
and Shij5. The scene of the woods with a stream
running through it, owned by KSmei Ishikawa,
