About the Artist
The son of a Confucian scholar, Japanese artist Kansetsu (1883-1945) was strongly attracted to the rich culture of China. In 1913, he made the first of what would be many trips to the great continent. Inspired by what he saw, Kansetsu later employed Chinese themes, subjects, and motifs in his own work, and became an avid collector of Chinese art. Although Grasses and Moon, at left, is regarded as typically Japanese in style, many of Kansctsu's works show a reflection of the Chinese people and landscapes observed during his travels. Grasses and Moon is now a part
of our diverse collection of Asiatic art.
"The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston houses one of the finest and the most diverse collections of Asian art in the world, with
works ranging from the fourth millennium B.C. to a variety of contemporary pieces."
— Wu Tung, Matsutaro Shorikå Curator of Asiatic Art
