nude study in marble by kitamura-shikai
contained paintings in both the Japanese and the
European styles, sculpture, wood-block prints, and
etchings. A Lion-Hunter by Otake-Chikuha in
a conventionalised orm in contrast to the extreme
realistic style of painting as seen in his Sudden
Shower, Komachi by Otake-Etsuzo in a dexterous
manner, Lighting-Up Time by Kamoshita-Choko,
Lilies by Shimazaki-Ryuu, Hoto by Kobaya-gawa-
Shusei, and Pine Forest: Spring by Yagi-Hoshu,
were among the best pictures. The highest awards
were given to Ishizuka-Keiko for his Dancer and
Kato-Shoshu for his Toothpick Shop.
Some of the progressive members of the Kensei
Kai, an artists' society of long standing with a large
membership, recently held an exhibition at Take-
nodai, Uyeno Park. Among the exhibitors were
the following Tokyo artists : Hida-Shuzan, Katsuda-
Shokin, Yamanouchi-Tamon, Ozaki-Shunan, Hashi-
moto Kunisuke, Shiozaki-Itsuryo, Burin, and
Kamisaka-Shunpo, and, from Kyoto, Tsuchida-
Bakusen and Kikuchi-Keigetsu, who won fame at
a recent Mombusho Art Exhibition. There were
enough paintings from each artist to show his
ideals and manner of procedure, his ability and
resourcefulness. Harada-Jiro.
