There are a further four Fujishima letters to Kuroda in the Tokyo National Museum, and eight addressed to Kume Keiichirô. Of the total 48 letters, 42 of them date to the Meiji period. In these letters we can learn about this artist’s trouble-filled period before he became a leading light of Japan’s art world, namely from around the time that he took up his teaching position at the Mie Prefectural Jinjo Chûgakko middle school in Tsu, to his return to Tokyo to become an assistant professor at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, through his study abroad to around the time that he built a new studio. These letters are also critical reference materials that provide a glimpse of the various events of the art world of the day from Fujishima’s viewpoint, from the time around the establishment of the Western painting course in the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, to the establishment of annual art exhibitions sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the behind-the scenes-drama caused by the move to establish the Nika Association.\n     Kumamoto Kenjirô, Kagesato Tetsurô, and Tanaka Yoshiaki have already introduced some of Fujishima’s letters to Kuroda Seiki, and this article also includes those letters in its discussion.\n     Fujishima began exchanging letters with Kuroda Seiki when Kuroda was still studying in France. Kuroda returned to Japan on July 30, 1893 (Meiji 26). At the same time, Fujishima received his letter of appointment dated July 3rd of the same year, and set out to become an assistant teacher at Mie Prefecture’s Jinjo Chûgakko middle school. And yet, from the texts of the series of letters, it seems that Fujishima met Kuroda and Kume several times in Tokyo and Mie prefecture where they became close friends. Because there are few letters or diary entries by Kuroda dating from the period immediately after his return to Japan from his study abroad, Fujishima’s letters are an aid to understanding Kuroda’s movements during that period.\n     The oldest of the letters introduced in these transcriptions and explanatory notes has an envelope dated April 7, 1894 (Meiji 27), in which Fujishima introduces Ôshita Tôjirô to Kuroda. This article provides transcriptions of 13 letters by Fujishima to Kuroda, including this Ôshitarelated letter and up until the letter addressed to Kuroda with the date of January 10, 1896 (Meiji 29).\n     While Fujishima himself said almost nothing about his time living in Tsu, from these letters, we can see that prior to living at his previously-known Tosei-nishiura 63-banchi address, he lived in the Kakiya boarding house in Kyôguchimachi, Tsu city, Mie prefecture, when he was first appointed to his new job. Further there are almost no diaries or letters extant by Kuroda Seiki. Hence, we can understand the movements of these three figures during the Meiji Art Society period when we read Fujishima’s letters to Kuroda alongside those addressed to Kume, who was extremely close to Kuroda immediately after Kuroda’s return to Japan. For example, these letters convey the state of affairs while Kuroda was in Kyoto in 1895 (Meiji 28) around the time that he separated from his wife about October of that year.\n     In this series of letters, Fujishima frankly reveals to Kuroda and Kume his loneliness and impatience regarding having to work alone and separated from the central art circles of the day, and complains about the difficulties he had in his work. He had Kuroda make direct imports from France of painting materials such as pigments, and we can also see how it was difficult to have frames made in regional Japan for the works he was entering in exhibitions. Further, the letters also indicate how Kume was greatly involved in the operations of the Meiji Art Society and busied himself with being the group’s administrative officer. Thus Fujishima’s letters allow not only an understanding of the internal workings of Fujishima the person, they are also reference materials that provide knowledge about the movements of the two young men Kuroda and Kume who took on the responsibilities of Japan’s Western painting realm.","subitem_description_type":"Abstract"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"児島, 薫"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{}]},{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"Kojima, Kaoru","creatorNameLang":"en"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_date","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2017-10-05"}],"displaytype":"detail","filename":"415_77_Kojima_Redacted.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"41.5 MB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_11","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"415_77_Kojima_Redacted.pdf","url":"https://tobunken.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/6089/files/415_77_Kojima_Redacted.pdf"},"version_id":"f56be0a5-5872-4e91-94ee-b744a7e37ccb"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"jpn"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"資源タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"journal article","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501"}]},"item_title":"研究資料　黒田清輝、久米桂一郎宛　藤島武二書簡（一）","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"研究資料　黒田清輝、久米桂一郎宛　藤島武二書簡（一）"}]},"item_type_id":"10001","owner":"3","path":["961"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"公開日","attribute_value":"2017-10-05"},"publish_date":"2017-10-05","publish_status":"0","recid":"6089","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["研究資料　黒田清輝、久米桂一郎宛　藤島武二書簡（一）"],"weko_creator_id":"3","weko_shared_id":3},"updated":"2023-05-15T14:48:59.361819+00:00"}
