概要 It was a unique moment in Japanese art history when two artists from East and West met twice in Tokyo in 1950. One was from the West, Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), the sculptor who represented modern sculpture in the 20th century, and the other was from the East, Ishii Tsuruzō, regarded as the most skillful sculptor in Japan. These were short meetings which were held first in March and second in July, set up by Sasamura Sōkajin, one of Ishii’s disciples. It seemed that these meetings had almost slipped from their minds after that. Only a few disciples of Ishii noted this meeting and what Noguchi said to them. The word Cubism, said by Noguchi at the meeting in commenting on Ishii’s representative wood work “Shimazaki Tōson” (Tōson-zō (1) 藤村像(1) 1950), made this moment remarkable to the modern Japanese sculpture history. From this meeting, through a comparison between the two artists we will be able to shed light on the workings of modern sculpture.
