	Okakura Kakuzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Okakura Kakuzo (岡倉覚三, February 14, 1863 - September 2, 1913; also known as Okakura Tenshin) was a Japanese scholar who contributed the development of arts in Japan.
		In 1890, Okakura was one of the principal founders of the first Japanese fine-arts academy, Tokyo bijutsu gakko (Tokyo School of Fine Arts) and a year later became the head, though he was later ousted from the school in an administrative struggle.
		Okakura was a high-profile urbanite who had an international sense of self in the Meiji Era as the first dean of the Tokyo Fine Arts School (now the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music).

	D16 Okakura Kakuzo, Japan, and English-Language Verse
		Okakura’s Ideals of the East, with Special Reference to the Art of Japan (London: Murray, 1903) and The Book of Tea (London: Putnam, 1906) have been among the most widely-read English works about Japan, and their influence in shaping Western understanding of the internal consistencies and strengths of East Asian aesthetic traditions has been profound.
		Ficke acknowledges Okakura as a source for his Chats on Japanese Prints (BG5), Fletcher for his ‘Secret of Far Eastern Painting’ (BH5), and Stevens, who read Ideals in 1909, refers to the work in a letter and diary entries that identify it with ukiyoe and his own early experiments with colour imagery (see CA7).
		The importance of Okakura’s writing as a source of Western understanding of Japan is discussed by Hall (A16), Ennis (A22), and Walsh (BK176a).

	Okakura Kakuzo
		In 1890, Okakura Kakuzo was one of the principal founders of the first Japanese fine-arts academy, Tokyo bijutsu gakko (Tokyo School of Fine Arts) and a year later became the head, though he was later ousted from the school in an administrative struggle.
		Okakura Kakuzo's book, The Ideals of the East, published on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War, is famous for its opening line, "Asia is one." Okakura Kakuzo argued that Asia is "one" in its humiliation, of falling behind in achieving modernization, and thus being colonized by the Western powers.
		Beyond this, Okakura Kakuzo was instrumental in modernizing Japanese aesthetics, having recognized the need to preserve Japan's cultural heritage, and thus was one of the major reformers during Japan's breathtaking period of modernization beginning with the Meiji Restoration.

		Okakura was a complex thinker whose early Western education and brilliant command of English allowed him to work effectively in both his native and the Western environment.
		It was precisely Okakura’s use of Chinese art and history that allowed him to develop his theory of civilization, with its emphasis on Asian "oneness" and its curious placement of art at the apex of civilization transcending both philosophy and religion.
		Okakura embarked on a second trip to the West on February 10, 1904—the day of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War—to act as an advisor to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

		Okakura's mussings are a quick and interesting read, and might be considered a launching point for a deeper investigation of the mysteries of Japanese aesthetics and tea.
		Kakuzo Okakura (1862-1919) was born in a Japan that had seen Commodore Perry but had not yet renounced the Shogunate.
		Okakura calls it "Teaism," a play on Taoism, and its purpose is to delight the senses, touch the heart, and place the participant fully in the present moment.

		To appreciate Okakura's argument for the uniqueness of Asia and the need for "Asia to become one" with Japan in the leading position, it is helpful to examine the social context in which Okakura's works were produced and to scrutinize the argumentative structure of the discourse as well as the specific "vocabulary" he uses.
		Okakura who was born in Japan to a semi-wealthy samurai family in 1862, spent the first thirty years of his life studying the arts of Japan, China, India, and Europe.
		Okakura appeared to be aware that this was a splendid opportunity to plead Japan's case before the American public that seemed sympathetic to his cause -- this accounts for The Awakening of Japan being custom-tailored to reverberate especially with the American experience.

	Yokoyama Taikan - An Artist Remembered
		This visit of Okakura to the Tagores in Calcutta is well known to the students of modern Indian art history.
		Therefore, Okakura's Japan remained a hero to Tagore and his colleagues and students at Santiniketan, who had celebrated tiny Japan's victory in 1904-05 over Russia with a log-fire in the evening amid frenzied shouts of "banzai" in a desolate and then obscure corner of British India (Tagore, pp.
		However, the same year (1898) Okakura Kakuzo had established his Nippon Bijutsuin (Japan Academy of Fine Arts) with the help of followers such as Yokoyama Taikan, Shimomura Kanzan and Hishida Shunso.

	BC1 Laurence Binyon, Review of The Ideals of the East, by Kakuzo Okakura
		Takes exception to particular parts of Okakura’s thesis, but nonetheless finds his work of ‘extraordinary interest’.
		The unsigned review is attributed to Binyon by Hatcher, who suggests that Ideals and Okakura’s Book of Tea introduced Binyon to the ‘facets of Taoism and Zen Buddhism that would colour his.
		Thirty years later Binyon relies on the central thesis of Ideals of the East in the second of his Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard (see 27).
