Flyer for Early US Exhibition by Hiroshi Yoshida Held at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C.
[Japan] Very scarce catalogue/leaflet for an Exhibition of Paintings by Six Japanese Art Students from Tokyo. Water Colors. Held in Washington D.C. at the Corcoran Gallery (Cosmos Club and the original exhibition dates of March 10th to 23rd are crossed out on the cover, so presumably the venue was changed to the Corcoran Gallery and the exhibition duration shortened to March 8th to 14th). The six young artists were Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950), Hachiro Nakagawa (1877-1922), Kunishiro Mitsutani (1874-1936), Bauka [Banka] Maruyama (1867-1942), Shinzo Kawai (1867-1936), and Takeshiro Kanokogi (1874-1941). This is one of the earliest exhibitions by these artists and apparently they managed to sell quite a few of the 266 paintings listed. All became well-established artists and their exhibitions overseas were generally highly regarded. Yoshida's first exhibition in the US was in Detroit in 1899.
