| | TAISHO CHIC: JAPANESE MODERNITY, NOSTALGIA, AND DECO (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Taisho Chic: Japanese Modernity, Nostalgia, and Deco, by Kendall H. Brown and Sharon A. Minichiello. |
 | | During this period, as Japan was becoming an international power, the gap, born in the Meiji era, between a traditional agriculturally based population and the modern industrial sector widened. |
 | | Long overlooked by scholars, the Taisho era is now being seen as a significant artistic period as well as cultural phenomenon, largely thanks to the connoisseurship of the art dealer Patricia Salmon, from whom the bulk of the collection on view was purchased by the Honolulu Academy of Arts in 1987. |
