DISCUSSION: A beautifully illustrated, important and hard-to-find catalog
to a major exhibition of Sekka’s work. “Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942) was a
Japanese artist and craftsman of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The final master of the traditional Rimpa school of painting, Sekka also
worked in lacquer and in a variety of other media. In 1910, Sekka was sent
to Glascow to study Western art and craftsmanship. He sought to learn more
about the Western attraction to japonisme, and which elements or facets of
Japanese art would be more attractive to the West. Returning to Japan, he
taught at the newly opened Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts,
experimented with Western tastes, styles, and methods, and incorporated
them into his otherwise traditional Japanese-style works”.

white illustrations.
