Do we want to include the contemporary 'bijutsu dantai' (academies/group shows) such as 'Inten,' 'Nitten,' 'Sohga-kai,' etc. on this list, or make a new subcategory, and title it --what? academy shows? Also, I found a flawed entry for 'Nitten' but nothing on any of the others. Rawkcuf 16:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest making a new subcategory and calling it, well, we'd need a good translation of 美術団体. "Contemporary art organizations" could be a simple enough name. In any case, I don't know that much about how the professional academic art history world views and labels these groups, but if they're not on a parallel level with the Kano school, the Tosa school, the Rinpa school, etc in terms of how solidly they are recognized by art historians as distinct, and important/significant, movements, then they probably should not be simply lumped in here.

Good to have someone here working on contemporary Japanese art. Welcome to the 'pedia! LordAmeth 22:31, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
