其他摘要：In the Meiji era, Japan introduced various institutions, including the system of fine arts. Then the word "Bijutsu" (fine arts) was invented. Following that, a distance between the "Bijutsu" by artists and the "Bijutsu kyoiku" (art education) by school teachers has gradually arisen, so that the two are independent. On the other hand, ordinary citizens are actively producing paintings as part of lifelong learning without any relationship to "Bijutsu" and "Bijutsu kyoiku". Now the environment which surrounds fine arts and art education is in a very severe confused situation. Tracing the route "Bijutsu" and "Bijutsu kyoiku" have followed in the modernization of Japan, we should build up the state of "Bijutsu" which is required for us.
