To the exposition

The exhibition can be understood as a counterpart to the Japanese painting exhibition in 1931 : when it was about the painters in the “Japanese style” ( Nihonga ), Japanese painters in the “Western style” ( Yōga ) were to be seen in Cologne . The early artists stayed in the style of contemporary European art, the later ones increasingly broke away from it and developed their personal style.

The catalog that was published for the exhibition is 139 pages long. It is introduced by a foreword by Prof. Roger Goepper and contains a greeting from Satō Shōji, then President of the Japan Foundation. Takumi Hideo wrote the introductory contribution.
