Dictionary of Japanese Painters & Calligraphers-SHOGA

 
Description

Fukui Kōtei was a Japanese-style painter, active from the Meiji period through the Shōwa era. He was highly trusted by his master, Kawabata Gyokushō, absorbing the fundamentals of the Maruyama School. He gradually increased his reputation in the art world even to make efforts on nurturing the next generations.

Fukui Kōtei spent 5 years from 1917 on traveling around China, the home of suiboku-ga (ink painting), painting numerous works, including this work of “Gyokujohō.”

Mount Wuyi is a generic name for a mountain range in Fujian Province, China. With its popularity for scenic landscapes, it is one of the places that Chinese people want to visit at least once in their lives, along with Mount Huangshan and Guilin. Since 1999, it has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Combined Heritage). It has 3.5 million tourists a year. The scenery of the Nine-bend River is particularly beautiful, with 36 rocky mountains lining the riverbank, which can be traveled down for about 9 kilometers by bamboo rafts.

“Gyokujohō” is the most famous among these surrounding rocky mountains, named after a beautiful woman because of its beautiful rock surface seen outside. The beautiful rock surface is realistically depicted with Fukui Kōtei’s masterful painting technique. “Gyokujohō,” which many Chinese have chosen as their subject of suiboku-ga since ancient times, is depicted in Fukui Kōtei’s Japanese-style painting, absorbing Western-style painting in the Meiji era. It very interestingly communicates something poetic while based on sketching to be quite far from suiboku-ga of the ancient China. This can be said to be a rare work from the time of Fukui Kōtei’s travels around China.

Our Feelings For Kakejiku

 The Japanese people have long set a high value on aesthetic senses since ancient times. As a result, the
peculiar culture which is not seen in other countries blossomed and many aspects of the modern Japanese
culture come from it. Parts of Japanese culture has been introduced to people in other countries recently,
so the number of people from other countries who are interested in Japanese culture has been increasing.
However, the Japanese aesthetic senses, which are the bases of Japanese culture, have been nurtured
through a long history, intertwining various elements intricately, such as climate, geographical features,
religion, customs and so on. Therefore, they are very difficult to understand not only for people from other
countries, but even for the Japanese people. I think the best tool which conveys these difficult senses
understandably is a “kakejiku.”
 The kakejiku (a hanging scroll; a work of calligraphy or a painting which is mounted and hung in an
alcove or on a wall) is a traditional Japanese art. It's no exaggeration to say that paintings are what
express aesthetic senses at all times and places. The kakejiku is an art which expresses the Japanese
aesthetic senses. The kakejiku has long been used in traditional Japanese events, daily life and so on since
ancient times. As a result, there are various customs of kakejiku in Japan; kakejiku and the life of the
Japanese are closely related. We can see Japanese values through kakejiku.
 The kakejiku is a cultural tradition which the Japanese people should be proud of. However, many people
in other countries don't know much about it because it hasn't been showcased as much. This is why I
decided to try to introduce it. The kakejiku world is very interesting and beautiful. We want not only the
Japanese, but also many people from other countries to know and enjoy it. I hope that many people will
love kakejiku someday.
