Art School Notes

this exhibition was Minamoto-no
Yoshimitsu imparting a secret melody of
the sho (a kind of flute) to Kiyohara
Sukenori, who was accompanying him to
a battle. The melody was handed down
for generations, and Yoshimitsu having
learnt it from Sukenori’s father was alone
in the possession of the secret. Fearing
that he might die in the approaching
battle, he ascended Ashigara Hill, in
Sagami Province, on his way to the eastern
conquest, and on a clear moonlight night
taught the secret to Sukenori and bade
him return to his castle.

Among other subjects dealt with, there
was Fujiwara Yasumasa playing a flute
in the moonlight, followed by a villain
who found no chance of attacking him;
and Ota Uokan, a great general who,
being caught in the rain, was forced to
ask for the loan of a mino (a straw rain-
coat) at a cottage where a girl handed
him a branch of yamabuki, or globe-flowers, which
he did not understand owing to his ignorance of an
old poem, and who from that time devoted his
attention to poetry, finally becoming a noted poet.
Hlsop’s fables, as well as the old Japanese fables,
likewise furnished material. Harada Jiro.

ART SCHOOL NOTES.

ONDON.—The Calderon Art Society, which
is composed of students past and
present of the School of Animal Paint-
ing, showed some unusually good work
at its annual exhibition held last month in the
gallery of the Alpine Club. Studies of
animal life naturally predominated, but
the contributions also included a number
of capital landscapes and several portraits.
The summer holiday class of the school
will be held this year at Mildenhall,
Suffolk, from July 23 till September 2.
