Art Encouragement Prize for Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
鬼が来た 上: 棟方志功伝 (文春文庫 350-1)
A biographical novel tracing Shiko Munakata from his birth in a blacksmith's family in Aomori through encounters with Soetsu Yanagi, the mingei movement, and writers and thinkers of his time, until he becomes an internationally recognized woodblock artist. The book brings Munakata's unruly creative force to life through the landscape of his native region and his drive toward art.
Work Information
From Aomori to the world, the force within Munakata races through the path of woodblock art.
Born near Utou Shrine, Munakata moves through his admiration for Van Gogh, his contact with the mingei movement, and his crossings with contemporaries such as Osamu Dazai before opening his own world of woodblock art. Hideo Osabe moves between local atmosphere and art history, portraying both Munakata's physical compulsion to create and the power of works that travel beyond Japan.
Review Summaries
-
The book is read as a biography in which an author from the same region approaches the large presence of Shiko Munakata. Its strong sense of place and layered portraiture are valued, and its depth comes not only from the artist's rise but also from the cultural encounters and tensions of modern Japan.
