It traces the lineage of \"naive expression\"—a recurring theme in Japanese art from the Muromachi period through the Edo period and into the early Taisho and Showa eras—through approximately 130 artworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exhibition explores the progression from popular folk paintings such as Otogizoshi emaki (illustrated scrolls of fairy tales), pilgrimage mandalas, and Otsu-e, to Zen paintings by Hakuin and Nanga (literati paintings) by artists including Uragami Gyokudo, Aoki Mokubei, and Okada Beisanjin. It frames this \"naive beauty,\" which emerged as a form of free self-expression unconstrained by realism, as a distinct characteristic of Japanese art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalog introduces how these naive expressions, which receded into the background during the modern era amidst the adoption of Western art and the spread of realism, resurfaced between the Taisho and early Showa periods. Featured works include explorations of Japanese expression by Kosugi Hoan and Umehara Ryuzaburo, as well as Nanga works by Natsume Soseki and pieces by Hirozo Yokoi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the plates, the catalog includes \"Nanga and the Naive Exhibition\" by Rei Hoshino, a related chronology, and an exhibition list. It is an exhibition catalog that examines the flow of naive beauty from the Edo period to the modern era through the lenses of \"marginality\" and \"amateurism\" in Japanese art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Title] Genealogy of Naive Beauty: From Edo to Taisho and Showa\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] The Shoto Museum of Art, Shibuya\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] December 2008\u003cbr\u003e[Pages] 144 pages\u003cbr\u003e[Dimensions] Approx. 186 × 257 × 10 mm \/ Actual weight 360g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Softcover\u003cbr\u003e[Language] Japanese\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] Sobokubi no Keifu: Edo kara Taisho, Showa e\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor, etc.] Edited and published by The Shoto Museum of Art, Shibuya; Text by Rei Hoshino\u003cbr\u003e[Printing\/Binding] -\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] -\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used [6] Average to Good (Minor foxing on top edge)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] -\u003cbr\u003e[Featured Book] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibition] Special Exhibition \"Genealogy of Naive Beauty: From Edo to Taisho and Showa\" (The Shoto Museum of Art, Shibuya, Dec. 9, 2008 – Jan. 25, 2009)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Shoto Museum of Art, Shibuya\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exhibition catalog for the special exhibition \"Genealogy of Naive Beauty: From Edo to Taisho and Showa,\" held at the Shoto Museum of Art, Shibuya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents the naive expressions that repeatedly appeared in Japanese art, covering works from Otogizoshi emaki, Otsu-e, Hakuin’s Zen paintings, and Nanga to modern paintings of the early Taisho and Showa periods.
