Shoko Uemura (1902-2001)

Shoko Uemura (1902-2001) was the eldest son of
renowned nihonga (Japanese-style) painter Shoen
Uemura (1875-1949). Like his mother, Shoko
trained in nihonga, and he became widely
acclaimed for his kacho-ga (paintings of flowers
and birds).

Known to challenge the refined compositions of
traditional painting, he made innovative changes
to nihonga style. For example, in his depiction
of a peacock a favorite subject of the master
Okyo Maruyama (1733-1795) Uemura trimmed part
of one of the birds wing, making it more
dynamic, appearing as it if it had just moved out
of the frame

Featured at the National Museum of Modern Art,
Kyoto are an overwhelming display of
approximately 70 works of art, including
"Brilliant Rain," based on tropical birds,
"Crane," surpassing past works, and "Peacock," as
well as the works he entered into his first big
exhibition at the age of 19 entitled "Quiet
Garden Welcoming Autumn" and "Night Heron," for
which he received the Minister of Education Award
for Fine Arts for "harmonizing the traditions and
reformation of Japan." The collection also
features a rare portrait painting for someone
focused on birds and flowers, such as "Spring of
a Thousand Leaves" and the sketches included with
the book Princess Nukata by Yasushi Inoue
