Japanese Art and Mountains to a Little BirdLee Jay WalkerModern Tokyo TimesKoizumi Kishio (1893–1945) was born in the twilight of the Meiji era—a time of transformation, where Japan stood at the threshold of modernity. And yet, within this storm of history, Koizumi carved out a quiet sanctuary—his art. In the art above, contemporary artist Sawako Utsumi offers a quiet yet profound homage to the modern master Hagiwara Hideo (1913–2007). Matsubayashi Keigetsu (1876–1963) stands as a quiet sentinel of tradition amid the shifting tides of modernity (art above). https://fineartamerica.com/featured/stillness-of-the-night-utsumi-and-homage-to-hagiwara-hideo-sawako-utsumi.html?newartwork=true Sawako Utsumi – Stillness of the Nighthttp://sawakoart.com – Sawako Utsumi and her artworkModern Tokyo News is part of the Modern Tokyo Times grouphttp://moderntokyotimes.com Modern Tokyo Times – International News and Japan Newshttp://sawakoart.com – Sawako Utsumi and Modern Tokyo Times artisthttps://moderntokyonews.com Modern Tokyo News – Tokyo News and International NewsPLEASE JOIN ON TWITTERhttps://twitter.com/MTT_News Modern Tokyo TimesPLEASE JOIN ON FACEBOOKhttps://www.facebook.com/moderntokyotimes
