Marshall. After the war and before the earth- quake Japanese artists enjoyed a pe- Due | riod of extraordinary prosperity. in part to the fact that Japanese art has found appreciation in this coun- try and in Europe, and that occidental collectors have been giving high prices for the works of the Japanese masters, the Japanese of wealth during these ars turned favorably.to their own Dainters and commissioned and pur- chased works with a generosity and lavishness said to compare with that of the Italian patrons during the period of the Renaissance. sharp was the competition and so keen the interest, so admirable the market at home, that Japanese artists showed little interest to exhibit in this coun- try or elsewhere. But now all is hanged and therc is danger that the inspiration which patronage brings through & quickening of ambition and a sense of appreciation will fade out and be lost. As time is reckoned it is not long since Japan's door was opencd to the western world. It was the United States that induced this opening. The result has been an _inpouring of western influence, an influence quite s allen to the Japanesc as is the oriental to us. For hundreds of years the art of China, Korea und Japan had flowed along one channel, and the stream was pure, but with the in- coming of the new influence it was diverted and its waters mingled with those derived from a diffsrent source. This meant the introdyction of west- ern methods in painting, and though some assimilated these methods with marvelous adaptability, others used them but clumsily. The result was not the be nd_this the Japanese rtists themselves recognized, so that 1 the past few yea turning back to their own traditio: been painling in the spir the masters of their own school. This is exemplified in the work of the artist who has brought to Wash- ton the present exhibition, Hirosbi Yoshida. When Mr. Yoshida was here twenty years ago his work was en Iy'in the western method. Occa- nally he still works in this meth- id his work Is of a high order lence, but the painting he is today is in the tradition of the ancse painters of the past and has decorativg quality and individuality 3 motive brought about the of interest in the woodblock print. When Helen Hyde went to Japan some vears ago and studied woodblock printing she was accorded 1 first prize by the Japanese for her mplishment, for she, cven better had caught the spirit of t Japanese block printers and anifested it lier work.
