DESCRIPTION:City and Country: Views of Urban and Rural Japan by Modern Japa
 nese Print Artists\nOngoing\nGallery 135\n\nOverview: In the first half of
  the 20th century\, Japan's great cities were developing at an astounding 
 rate. The changing urban landscape became a favorite subject for print art
 ists such as Oda Kazuma (1882–1956) and Kasamatsu Shiro (1898–1991) wh
 o portrayed the crowded streets of Tokyo bustling with shoppers. At the sa
 me time\, the lightening-fast urbanization process sparked nostalgia for t
 he scenery of the countryside and the furusato (hometowns) of the mind's e
 ye. The result was idealized visions of rural Japan by such artists as Kaw
 ase Hasui (1883–1957). Works showing both of these extremes of city and 
 country are on display. A special feature of the exhibition is recent acqu
 isitions by Hiratsuka Un'ichi (1895–1997) from the Van Zelst family\, lo
 ngtime donors to the Art Institute.\n\nThe Art Institute of Chicago\n111 S
