| Research Abstract |
TSUCHIDA Bakusen(1887-1936) was a Nihonga (the Japanese painting) painter, who painted many Maiko paintings in modern Kyoto. Neverthless, his works have not been classified into so-called Bijinn-ga (the genre painting of beautiful women), unlike the paintings of UEMURA Shoen, KABURAKI Kiyokata and ITO Shinsui. This fact likely suggests that his works were distinctive in terms of painting styles, such as fine lines and bright flat color, as well as painting aimes.
By using two analytical viewpoints, personality and symbol, this study reveals that his painting presents high personality of individual model while at the same time symbolizing yearning for graceful Buddhist world. His works combine the personality of Maiko face with religious yearning for the Buddhist painting of Heian period. The image of two, Maiko and Buddha, are far apart from each other, and therefore, Bakusen's portraiture that combined both of them creates a new fascination.
