Japanese Watercolours
from the Meiji and Taisho period

All these watercolours were done in a Western watercolour technique, on European watercolour paper and with European watercolour paint. Most watercolours are signed in a Western way in Roman letters. They are made from 1890 till the end of the 1930s by artists with a Western style education, at Art schools in Japan by Western teachers. One of them was the English watercolourist Charles Wirgman.
