In addition the nihonga movement served to distinguish traditional art from Western-style oil painting. In the 1880s and following decades as various national forums fro competitive exhibition developed Tokyo and Kyoto emerged as strong artistic centers each characterized by its own distinct historical and cultural background. Modern Masters of Kyoto presents more than eighty examples of Kyoto nohonga - hanging scrolls screens and an album - dating from 1860s to the 1940s. Featuring two exceptionally original artists Tsuji Kako 1870-1931 and his pupil Tomita Keisen 1879-1936 the volume includes works by his predecessors their contemporaries and their successors. Collectively their works demonstrate the evolution of Kyoto nihonga in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book introduces Western readers to a range of Kyoto artists from the most famous to the talented but relatively unknown. Their often visually stunning paintings provide a window from which to glimpse both the past and modern in Japanese art. In the early development of nihonga Kyoto artists incorporated some elements of Western art but they were more anchored in tradition than artists in Tokyo. The Kyoto masters achieved true brilliance after the turn of the twentieth century. Inspired by the modern concept of individualism and influenced at times by knowledge of compemporary Western art Kyoto nihonga artists in the Taisho period 1912-26 created strikingly diverse and original expressions with fresh subjects a daring use of color and experimental compositions. .
