| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hirayama Eizo was dispatched to the International Exhibition held in Turin, Italy, as head of the Japanese Exhibition Committee in 1911. During the exhibition, Hirayama often visited Rome where the International Exhibition of Fine Art was held, and made short trips to many European cities, where he learned firsthand about many new industrial products. After returning to Japan in 1912, Hirayama, as chairman of the committee of the Japanese product improvement exhibition, published articles not only to report that the style of the current European industrial products for daily use was turning towards the new style that was characterized by simple form and soft color, but also to advise Japanese designers to move beyond Art Nouveau style and Secession style into a new Japanese style for products useful for daily life. Hirayama’s criticism provided the basis for discussion about Japanese ideas of developing not industrial art but industrial design from the 1910s to the 1930s.
