Yamatane Museum of Art
I'm not an art critic. I come here as a historian. The nihonga paintings from 1880–1945 are documents of an identity crisis rendered in mineral pigment on silk.
Japan's leading museum of nihonga (Japanese-style painting), focused on the Meiji-to-Showa transition period when Western techniques and traditional Japanese materials were in direct argument with each other.
