The Nitten Exhibition showcases the work of Japan's finest modern artists at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art. Visitors can view paintings, sculpture and calligraphy from both established professionals and talented newcomers.
With a history going back almost a century, the Japanese Nitten arts organisation has certainly built a reputation for itself. Its Japanese-Style Painting category features modern interpretations of traditional styles, whereas Western-Style Painting uses foreign techniques to produce a modern representation of Japan's natural features. Sculpture, Craft as Art and Calligraphy add variety to this already diverse blend.
Although Nitten is a somewhat controversial name in the fickle world of art, the exhibition acts as an excellent summary of the developments of Japanese art and its adjustments and resilience to Western influence.
