🎨 130th Anniversary of Kanji Maeta’s Birth: Poetry and Realism

Kanji Maeta (1896–1930), a Western-style painter born in Kunisaka, Nakahōjō Village, Tōhaku District (now Hokuei Town), Tottori Prefecture, devoted his life to blending his poetic sensibility with his uniquely developed vision of realism. Through this pursuit, he created a diverse and captivating body of work.

He also co-founded the 1930 Association, an art group dedicated to pioneering a new style of oil painting in Japan, alongside Katsuzō Satomi, Takanori Kinosh*ta, Zentarō Kojima, and Yūzō Saeki. The association attracted considerable attention as an emerging force in the Japanese art world.
