		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.

		Mark Anderson investigates wartime and post-war evaluations of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Okakura Tenshin in terms of how their projects resituated Japan and Asia in relation to the English-speaking world's historically shifting regimes of power and knowledge, and to competing conceptions of technology, art, race and culture.
		Much of Okakura Tenshin's most influential and widely publicized work was both written and published in English.
		While Fukuzawa has come to stand as a symbol of universalist Western enlightenment and Okakura of Pan-Asian particularism, my presentation will seek to trace out a more finely grained account of which specific technologies of nationalism they participated in instituting and the variety of bodies politic their projects were implicitly designed to produce.

		An eastern family is based primarily on the relationship between father, mother and children; hence, the priority of the ideals of humanity, loyalty, love and duty.

		Notwithstanding the similarity of the views of Tenshin and Tokutomi on problems of Pan-Asiatism, the concepts of the former were based on aesthetic romanticism, while those of the latter relied more on political realism.

	Art Journal: The 1909 Ryuto and the aesthetics of affectivity - Japan 1868-1945: Art, Architecture, and National ...
		If the India of Ryuto is made a synecdoche--standing for all of Asia--then in its linkages Ryuto illustrates the ideology immortalized in the now-infamous pan-asianist phrase, "Asia is one," that Taikan's mentor, Okakura Tenshin (1862-1913), coined in the first line of his book Ideals of the East.
		The painting presents what Tenshin called "a single ancient Asiatic Peace, in which there grew up a common life, bearing in different regions different characteristic blossoms, but nowhere capable of a hard-and-fast dividing-line."(8) Certainly Tenshin, who wrote these words in India the year before Taikan's own visit there, greatly inspired Taikan.
		Since Tenshin's Asia is One philosophy was appropriated by militarists as the rationale for the colonization of Asia in later decades, we might ask to what degree Ryuto contained a nascent political pan-asianism.
