Accompanies 'Modern Art in Wanderings: In Between the Japanese- and Western-Style Paintings' at The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo and Kyoto, in late 2006 and early 2007 respectively. This catalogue brings together 55 Japanese artists from the 19th and 20th centuries who work across two distinct modes of expression - nihonga (Japanese-style painting) and yōga (Western-style painting), with an aim to reconsider modern painting in Japan. About 160 paintings are showcased in chronological order beginning from the early Meiji period to 1930s - the prewar Showa Period, plus a session specified in nine painters who blend both styles in their oeuvre. Includes essay and texts by Ryo Furuta, Chieko Tsuzuki, Reiko Nakamura, Mika Kuraya, Kaori Tsurumi, Hidetsugu Yamano, and Masaaki Ozaki. With brief artist biographies.
