Hakuba-kai
The Hakuba-kai or "White Horse Society" was a fluid late Meiji association of Japanese practitioners of yōga or Western-style painting. Established in June 1896, thirteen exhibitions were staged before the Society was disbanded in 1911. Fuelled by disagreements over style and the rigid bureaucratic methods of the Meiji Bijutsukai, hitherto the dominant yōga association, Kuroda Seiki, Kume Keiichirō, and others founded the new group, named after their favourite Shirouma brand of unfiltered sake. Other participating and exhibiting artists included Yamamoto Hōsui, Okada Saburōsuke, Wada Eisaku, Kobayashi Mango, Aoki Shigeru, and Fujishima Takeji.Gallery
