"ascension "
wood sculpture by ogura-uichi ro
which was shown at a previous exhibition, was
conspicuous for its bold, almost grotesque, manner
of execution. Ogura-Uichiro's Ascension stood
prominent both for its size and neatness of
"eve' (marble) by kitamura-shikai
technique. The suggestion of uplifting movement
was carried out in the graceful flow of the garments.
The sentiment of devotion was well expressed
in Ishikawa-Kakuji's An Offering, a half-draped
female figure with colour applied to the drapery;
and another interesting study of sculpture in wood
was Kaihatsu-Yoshimitsu's Nagame, a wholly
nude figure. As usual, Kitamura-Shikai excelled in
marble; his Eve showed remorse in the muscles
of her body, and his nude female study, with its
wonderful composition of lines, revealed his talent
in marble at its best. The following works in
" oshun and dembei " (clav)
by shinkai-taketaro
clay are also worthy of mention : Shinkai-Takezo's
The Stare, Tatehata-Daimu's An Evening in
Springtime, Asakura-Fumio's portrait of a woman,
and two previously exhibited works The Sole and
A Pot, Shinkai-Taketaro's Oshun and Dembei (two
well-known dramatic characters), and the same
artist's Model and Deep Water, showing a different
kind of treatment.

one of the most influential bodies of artists,
