The battles of the Empress lingo in
Korea, the achievements of Tovo-
toni Hideeyoshi, the Japanese Ma
poleon, and the story of the Forty-
Seven Ronins are favorite subjects in
the old prints. Modern Japanese art
lists keep alive the same martial spirit.
their great mine of ideas being the
Chinese War of 1906. But in color.
line and conception they are as far
behind the old masters as Alfred Aus
tin is behind Shakespeare.
The three color prints here repro
duced are all excellent examples of
the best and most virile Japanese art.
The incidents depicted are familiar to
the student OF the history of Japan.
Kusunok1 Masatsura, who is shown
lighting his last great fight, was one
OF the hnest warriors of a warrior
race. He was known as ''the pious
samural" because of his single-minded
devotion to- his Emperor. "Pious"
means 'loyal" in Japan, not "reIig-
lous, though loyalty, indeed, is the
religion of the Mikado's subjects.
Kusunoki, after life of hard fight
ing, was slain in the year 134o, bat
ting for his Emperor. Before he sue
cumbed to a hundred wounds, he slew
twenty men. In the picture he is
shown carrying a bag full of their
heads.
Yokoyama Tatsuzan was a samurai
renowned for his cunning. He was as
crafty as Ulysses himself, and his ex-
plolts as a spy among his enemies
form the theme of many a Japanese
story.
In the colored print here reproduced
he is shown in the disguise of
farmer, but it will be noticed that he
is wearing his two swords and his sa-
mural armor. The artist desired to
tell the whole story in the picture, so
he showed the character both as
disguised spy and as samurai The
old Japanese painters were as realis-
tic as the most up-to-date modern,
but they loved symbolism in art, too.
The main characteristic of all these
military pictures of Japan is vigorous
action, Although they are usually
stiff, according to Occidental ideas, the
hgures are always full of energy, and
are thus in keeping with the charac-
tiers depicted and with the spirit of
Japanese life.
ltle old artists are revered IN mod
ern Japan, and copies of their most
bellicose color prints may be found
in almost every home, except those
of the coolies, who cannot spare even
a few sen to crafty their patriotic and
artistic tastes. Japanese history is
taught to the children in the public
schools by the aid of these prints, and
the Japanese complain bitterly be-
cause tourists and foreign collectors
prefer to buy pictures of geishas
rather than those of the fighting men
of ancient Nippon.

Happy Japan,
Garden of glitter,
Flower and fan,
Flutter and filter;
Land of bamboo
Juvenile whacker-
Porcelain, too,
Tea tray and lacquer"

THIS chorus from "The Gel
sha" expressed pretty accu-
l. rately the opinion of Japan
entertained by Occidental
peoples before the deeds of Admiral
Togo and his men opened their eyes
to the stern practicality of the Jap
anese character. The world is learn
ing now that Japan is land of first
class fighting men as we'll as of
pretty, butterhy-like geishas, of
swords as we'll as of fans.
Japanese art has attracted the admir-
alton of western painters and connois-
seurs for the past twenty or thirty
years, by reason of its wonderful color
effects and the vigor of its line, which
often achieves brilliant results in ab-
solute defiance of the laws of anatomy
and perspective. But Japanese art has
been misconceived as completely as
japanese character. It is commonly
supposed to be merely matter of a
flower in bamboo pot, a pious monk
feeding storks in temple garden, or
the sweetly serious face of cherry
blossom maiden, like that one on a
Toyokuni color print which made the
late William Ernest Henley exclaim:
WAS | a samurai renowned.
Two-sworded, fierce, immense Of
bow,
A histrion angular and profound.
A priest, a porter? Child, although
| have forgotten quite, l know
That in the shade of Fuji-San,
What time the cherry orchards blow.
l loved you once-in old Japan"
But the ancient art Of Japan means
great deal more than this to the
japanese. 1t enshrines the valor Of
their samurai ancestors for two thou
sand years, and tells them the glori-
Gus history of their unconouered
land.
Toyobuni, Hiroshima, and the other
great artists of bygone day, whose
color prints are the admiration and
despair of degenerate moderns. were
not content to paint only pretty girls
and chrysanthemums Their main
work was to depict the brave deeds
OF the ancient samurai and the princi-
pal military incidents of their coun-
try's history.
