Art was no exception. The system by which two types of painting, nihonga (“Japanese Painting”) and yo–ga (“Western Painting”) would come to stand side by side, is none other than a monument to this sadness. 2 K I TA Z AWA N O R I A K I , 19 9 9 1 2 Leighton’s statement appears quoted in Marcus Huish, “Is Japanese Art Extinct?,” The Nineteenth Century, no.
