Features of the artist Tsuguharu Fujita: the desire to rethink the Japanese pictorial tradition through the prism of Western European realism; adherence to figurativeness; the stinginess of the color palette, which is dominated by pearl shades of white and deep earthy tones; the synthesis of painting and graphic means - calligraphic stroke, spots, lines.
