Kawamura Kiyoo (1852-1934) was a western-style painter active from the Meiji to Showa Eras. Kiyoo rediscovered Japanese tradition and beauty while studying abroad in western Europe, and created his paintings using lacquers, silks and other materials used in the Japanese arts in a continual search for ‘a Japanese-style of Western painting.’ Through his artwork and reference materials, we will introduce how Kiyoo emphasized the Japanese traditional arts in the oil paintings he produced.
