cooperation across national boundaries.

EXH I B I T I ON OF L I TERAT I PA INT INGS FROM JAPAN An exhibition of Japanese Literati Paintings was mounted at the A rt Gallery of the Institute of Chinese Studies from 8th August to 6th October, 1974. The paintings, on loan from several collectors in Japan, represent some 32 painters including Nakayama Koyo, Yanagiswa Kien, Ikeno Taiga, Noro Kaiseki, Uragami Gyokudo, Okada Beisanjin, Tani Buncho, Watanabe Kazan, Nakabayashi Chikudo, Yamamoto Baiitsu, Tomioka Tessai etc. and Chinese painters resident in Japan. To illustrate the influence of Chinese painting style on Japanese Literati painting, Chinese paintings by Ming and Ch'ing literati and Chinese woodblock printed painting manuals of the same period are also displayed. These Chinese paintings, on loan from local private collections, feature works by Shen Chou, Wen Cheng-ming, T’ang Yin, Lan Ying, Hsiao Y ü n-tsung, Ch'en Tao-fu ， Tung Ch'i-ch'iang, Wang Hui, Wang Y ü an-ch'i and Y ü n Shou-ping. The interflow of Chinese and Japanese cultures have had a long history, and Literati painting is an outstanding instance of cultural cross-fertilization. The introduction of Chinese Literati Paintings to Japan in the 18th Century led to the emergence of Japanese Literati Painting, which became a representative school of painting of the Edo period (1615-1867). In accepting and adapting the form and spirit of Chinese Literati Painting the Japanese artists created their own distinctive idioms. This exhibition brings together for the first time works of Chinese and Japanese painters.
