As a result, Japan became isolated from the other countries but wished to keep diplomatic relations with the United States. During this time there were many Japanese artists studying art in New York City and exhibitions were being held by the Japanese-American Artists Association before World War II. Two of these exhibitions were sponsored by the Japanese Times in 1935 and 1936. These exhibitions were unusual because contributors included not only famous artists, but also amateur painters and Japanese government officials. The intention of these exhibitions was to promote friendly relations between Japan and the U.S. An ambassador named Saito Hiroshi arrived in the U.S. in February 1934, and like the exhibitions, he advocated and promoted friendly relations between Japan and the U.S. This article discusses the purpose of holding these exhibitions and why the Japanese government participated in this project. It first looks at the social backing for these exhibitions in the 1930s. The U.S. was in the middle of the Great Depression in the 1930s and Fascism was on the rise in the world during this time. In February 1936, the American Artists Congress was formed to raise awareness against war and fascism. Some left-thinking Japanese Artists joined this association and caused fear in the Japanese government.}, pages = {114--125}, title = {1930年代のニューヨークの邦人美術展覧会 : 日米外交政策を背景にして}, volume = {8}, year = {2017} }
