Description
1903. [DRAWING TEXTBOOK] ASAI CHU^, artist. JIZAIGA KYO^KASHO Dai Roppen. To^kyo^, Kinko^do^ Shoseki, Meiji 36 [1903]. 1st printing. Oblong 8vo., wrappers. 18.6 x 26.5 cm. This sixth volume of the series A TEXTBOOK OF FREE SKETCHING contains 6 sheets of color woodcut reproducing watercolor sketches by Asai Chu^ and meant to serve as a guide for students in their drawing classes. The Japanese Education Ministry, the Monbusho^, had commissioned Asai Chu^, one of the foremost artists and educators of the day to create a series of such handbooks for schools. This brief notice is not the place to expand but it should be noted that this series represents an important milestone in the see-saw cultural battle being waged between artistic traditionalists and "modern" Western-style artists. The fact that the Asai Chu^ strove to familiarize students with the use of the pencil (and in this case Western watercolor) rather than the traditional brush is significant in that context. Asai, himself, actually, though an accomplished Western-style oil painter who had studied in France was also a skilled traditional painter and a top-rank graphic designer, as well. It appears he believed in giving students all the tools, all the media, available for their expression. His various textbook series are rightly famous though almost never found, being fragile to begin with and meant to be used by students. This volume is in good condition - the pages are loose and the images have a degree of foxing throughout.
