Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have been engaged in research into the relationship between Edo-period kachou-ga (bird-and-flower paintings) and natural history for many years. In recent years, my research has particularly focused on new related “subjects” that began to emerge in the eighteenth century. Over the course of such research, I noticed the following point. As a genre, kachou-ga is inextricably linked to “language.” Often, metaphors within kachou-ga are not directly linked to any current linguistic meaning or to any present-day cultural event. My latest study examines how the traditional bijin to shiro-oumu (beautiful woman and parrot ) subject, which straddles the kachou-ga and bijin-ga genres, was understood by post-eighteenth century artists and how their response to it led to the creation of “new styles.”
