Kano Hogai and the Four Heavenly Kings
Categories：Art
Kano Hogai, the last of the 400-year-old Kano school, had four senior disciples.
The four members are Shusui Okakura, Fusaku Okakura, Shosetsu Takaya, and Amagi Honda.
As Hogai's last disciples, they witnessed up close the production of Hogai's masterpiece, Sad Mother Kannon, which is said to be the origin of modern Japanese painting.
However, when Hogai passed away before the Tokyo Fine Arts School opened, they somehow disappeared from the spotlight and became forgotten.
This book focuses on the "Hogai Four Heavenly Kings."
In fact, they formed an "another vein'' that was different from the main stream of modern Japanese painting, and were an important presence that informed the future of the Kano school.
In addition to introducing his unknown art, we will also introduce works by Gaho Hashimoto, Tatsutake Kimura, and Tomonobu Kano, who lived with Hogai, as well as works by Yokoyama Taikan and Kanzan Shimomura, who belong to the Japan Art Institute of Okakura Tenshin, who led Hogai after his death. Introducing works by Shunso Hishida, Kogetsu Saigo, and Takeyama Kimura.
The afterglow of the Kano school, which has changed and disappeared at the mercy of the times, and the masterpieces (including 3 important cultural properties) of masters who have overcome modernization and shine brightly in the history of Japanese painting like shining stars. This is a book full of illustrations that you can enjoy.
