Watercolours of the Maiji Period — 明治期の水彩画

Watercolours of the Maiji Period (明治期の水彩画, Meiji-ki no suisai-ga; 'Maiji' in the museum title is a transliteration variant of 'Meiji') is a plate from a published compilation of Meiji-era watercolours, attributed in the ukiyo-e.org record to 'Various artists' but archived under Nakazawa's name as one of his contributions or as part of the broader yōga-watercolour tradition in which he worked. Watercolour (suisai-ga) was a key medium for late-Meiji Western-style painters, championed by figures like Ōshita Tōjirō and central to the yōga curriculum at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts where Nakazawa trained. The compilation's publication situates Nakazawa within a broader generational project to document and consolidate Meiji-period Western-style art as a coherent tradition. The print or printed-plate image is held in the ukiyo-e.org image database from the JAODB archive.
