Contemporary Art in Japan

In the Fall (1958) issue of the College Art Journal three contributors discussed aspects of contemporary Japanese art. Like other manifestations this reflects the widespread American interest in that country's present day art. I have recently returned from a year in Japan where as a Fulbright Grantee I studied the contemporary art scene. I therefore felt that it might be of value to describe the general art situation as I found it over there. Out of this background have emerged some artists who now have international reputation.
