| Research Abstract |
This research project aimed to reveal the artistic trends of the 18th century through a joint work of the specialists in the fields of painting, calligraghy, applied arts and Jpanese history.
In the fiscal year 1986, the Kyoto National Museum team caried out a research and investigation on the collection of the Shoko Shuseikan Foundation in Kagoshima, which owns a number of art objects and historical documents collected by the Shimazu family, a potential feudal lord's family governing Satsuma fief (presentday Kagoshima Prefecture) in the early modern period.
In the fiscal year 1987, we carried out a survey on the collection of the Kakimori Bunko Foundation, Itami, Hyogo Prefecture. Mr. Rihei Okada, a noted researcher of the poet Matsuo Basho, donated his collection of early modern literati works to the city of Itami, based on which the foundation was established. The Okada family, a sake brewer in Itami, compiled a number of literati works which was left by the literati visited the family from all over Japan.
It was traditionally congent that the 18th century in Japan was just in the middle of the period of national isolation. But the above investigations and other individual surveys revealed that the 18th century was the time repleted with a new type of expression in Japanese art as a fruit of the mixture of Chinese spiritualistic aesthetics and the occidental positive ones which were imported to Japan at that time.
We believe that the above investigations achieved the expected results. For the future project, it would be necessary to include the results of the research works in the fields of philosophy and religion, in addition to the fields of art and crafs.
