Research Projects

  • The historical development of depth representation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties paintings -- in the context of human representation
    Kono Michifusa; NI JINXIU; WANG WENLEI; SHIMAMURA KEIKO
    This research resulted in the following observations : 1) Triangular compositions of both flying monsters and of human groups in Northern Dynasties paintings may have been the earliest mode of expressing depth perspective in Chinese painting. 2) In the Han Dynasty, perspective was attempted by depicting the background in the upper part of the composition, and foreground in the lower part, but in the latter half of the Han period, groups of people and buildings were placed into trapezoid formations. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, figures in murals were organized into triangles to represent perspective. In the Tang Dynasty, perspective was attempted by depicting a distant object small and a near one large; in addition, this period saw the establishment of a mode of perspective depth expression in which objects are shortened as they near the horizon., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2015/04 -2019/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Doshisha University

    We have studied about the problems on the painting of narative, focusing on three groups, Monogatari and Waka, Setsuwa and Butten, Domo and Kankai. We hosted a symposium especially on the painting of "Tsurezuuregusa" and on the painting of performing art, such as No, Kowakamai and Kabuki. Scholars of Japanise literature and Japanese art history had the discussion on the symposiums and we cultivated a better understanding about the problems. We compiled the results of study meetings, symposiums and exhibitions on the report at the end of the 2013 year., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2009/04 -2014/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), The Museum Yamato Bunkakan
  • The Study of Painting History in the Wei, Jin, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, especially about the Tomb Wall Paintings
    KONO Michifusa; WANG Weiming; SHIMONO Kenji
    According to the findings of research for wall paintings of Lou Rui's Tomb, Xu Xianxiu's Tomb in Shanxi, and Fuyemiaowan Wei-Jin Tomb in Dunhuang, there might be clear about the following matters. First, the painting of Northern Dynasties, especially Northern Qi, shows the characteristic style of the other ethnic group with high completeness while the Wei-Jin painting was under the strong influence of Han dynasty style. And the oval face style of Northern Qi mural affected the Tang dynasty painting. Second, Northern Qi paintings made great progress in depicting human figures in groups and in depth expression, and made preparations for the perspective representation of landscape painting in Tang dynasty., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2008 -2012, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Osaka Prefecture University
  • The Adoption and Absorption of Chinese Painting Theories in Middle and Modern Ages Japan
    KONO Michifusa
    This project had a three-year plan. 1998 : The investigation into the literature of chinese painting theories. 1999 : The investigation of Japanese documents about painting in ancient and medieval times. 2000 : Examining the books of painting theories in modern ages, the general report through three years. In Chapter 1 of the report, to make the basis of painting theories, I attempted to put the literature about chinese painting in order according to the two elemental ideas, 1 : the argument of appreciation (or connoisseurship), 2 : the argument of producing (or painting). The argument 1 is classified into six groups, (1)the discussion of relative merits among the subjects, (2)the classifications of painters, (3)the subject categories (or genres), (4)the painting schools, (5)the catalog of painting, (6)the biography of painters. The argument 2 into five groups, (1)the discussion of encouragement and admonishment in the subject, (2)the Six Laws, (3)the discussion of landscape painting, (4)literati painting, (5)the manual of painting. Those gradually evoluted under the influences of chinese philology in the early days and under that of the living manual of literati after Sung Dynasty. In Chapter 2, it was studied which kind of argument mentioned above influenced japanese literature on painting. As the result, there proved that 1 : a descriptive limit of real existence was pointed out in the Story of Genji, and that was similar to the idea of Huai-na-zi and Lun-heng, 2 : the kinds of literature like Lidai-minghua-ji were accepted to Kokon-chomonju through the anthology Taiping-guangji, 3 : the style of Kundaikan-sochoki, the document of known uniqueness, was concluded to be the earlier example of the living manual of literati. Because of a vast quantity of the arguments on literati painting after Kyoho Era, I could not give them my full consideration. From now on, further investigations will be expected to accomplish., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 1998 -2000, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Osaka Prefecture University
