Abstract

The article features Japanese artist Naoko Matsubara. Despite spending the first few years of her childhood in the midst of World War II, Matsubara still pursued her passion and was admitted to the College of Fine Arts when she was 19. Learning design from Lizze Ueno Rix, Matsubara was so inspired with Western art and began traveling and explore art from the West. She has become known for woodcuts using her unique techniques. She has also written books like "Tu Tze-Chun" and "The Tale of the Shining Princess."

4. Art.

Subjects
ART, JAPANESE color prints, ARTISTS, ENGRAVING, ROMANESQUE architecture
Abstract

The article focuses on various artistic works. "Color Prints of Japan," the corrected and amplified translation of W. Von Seidlitz's standard work on Japanese prints appeals both to the collector and the general student of art. With its abundant reproductions and artists' signatures in facsimile, it serves very well as an historical manual, while it has the peculiar merit of endeavoring to make an aesthetic appraisal of the material. "Romanesque Architecture," by Edith Browne, traces the racial and political influences that brought about and modified the Romanesque style.

7. Drama.

Subjects
DRAMA, ART, ARTISTS, LITERATURE
Abstract

The article presents information about the theatrical productions. Under the guise of contributions towards the study of the social evil, plays have been thrown on the stage which are abominable in their theme and still more abominable in their intention. "Plays of Old Japan: The Nō," by Marie C. Stopes is a little volume that embodies the hard "task of years" of a brilliant Englishwoman. The Nō pieces, of which four are here presented in English, were products of the simple literary taste of the warrior class of Japan in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
