A Comparative Study of Kakuzo Okakura and His Moving the Nihon-Bijutsuin to Izura

本研究展示了冈仓角三（Tenshin Okakura，1863-1913）和他于1906年将日本美术院（日本美术学院）从东京迁往伊仓（茨木县北茨城市海岸）的工作和想法。根据来自日本和海外的各种档案数据，研究结果表明他如何在茨木构建了一个人际网络，以及当时生活在那里的人们如何接受日本美术院。这是对他在伊祖拉和波士顿的工作进行的比较分析，其结果显示了与他在大洋彼岸这些不同地点管理组织的活动的明显相关性。我们发现，伊左拉和冈仓形象的意义在连续的时期里发生了变化。这些成果正在准备作为伊左拉历史图书馆系列出版。

This study shows Kakuzo Okakura(Tenshin Okakura, 1863-1913) and his work and idea of moving the Nihon-Bijutsuin(Japan Art Institute) to Izura(a coast in Kitaibaraki city, Ibaraki prefecture) from Tokyo in 1906. Based on various archival data from Japan and overseas, the findings suggest how he constructed a human network in Ibaraki, as well as how people lived there at that time accepted the Nihon Bijutsuin. This is a comparative analysis of his work of Izura and Boston, of which result shows a clear correlation with his activities in managing organizations at these separate locations across the ocean. We found that the significance of Izura and Okakura's image have been changed in successive period. These results are being prepared to be published as a series of Izura Historical Library.
