| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When the Nazi regime collapsed and the World War II finally ended in May 1945, the life of people in Germany was completely devastated. It was the time to begin the reconstruction from zero, so-called “Stunde Null (Zero Hour)”, and the research base for Japanese art history was no exception. This project examined the condition of Japanese art history in Germany in the immediate post-war period and the course of its recovery. As examples, I took two cases: the activity of Japanese art historian Dietrich Seckel after the war, and the art exhibitions on Japanese art held in West Germany in the early 1950s. Additionally, I analyzed the personal exchange between German artist Hans Richter and Japanese oil painter Hasegawa Saburo in the US, as a case which happened under the severance of artistic relation between Germany and Japan.
