学術論文

This study examines the significance of the exhibitions of Western arts and crafts organised by Yamanaka & Co., a recognized specialist dealer in East Asian art. The author examined Bijutsu Kōgeihin Tenrankai: Ōbei Saishin Kōan, an exhibition catalogue published in 1928. This catalogue, owned by Yamanaka & Co., shows what was exhibited and the prices of some of the exhibits. The exhibition focused on modern French sculpture and Western artefacts, both of which were small pieces for interior decoration. Yamanaka & Co. presented these works to the creators of Japanese arts and crafts as models to improve the design. They argued that European design imitated Japanese design, whilst developing Japanese elements to the present day and encouraging the improvement of Japanese craft design. President Sadajirō Yamanaka was deeply involved in the collection of the exhibits and in the promotion of the exhibition. After this exhibition, Yamanaka & Co. continued to actively import European crafts, targeting the emerging middle classes of the time.
