KAKEJIKU JAPANESE HANGING SCROLL / Landscape Painting by Kokkan Otake 尾竹国観 949
Kokkan Otake (尾竹国観, 1880－1945) was a Japanese-style painter.
He was born in Niigata pref. His two brothers, Etsudo Otake (older) and Chikuha Otake (older) both became painters, and the three of them came to be known as the Otake Brothers.
In his childhood, Kokkan Otake learned nanga painting under Sasada Unseki, and received the pseudonym Kokkan.
In 1896, Kokkan move to Tokyo and became a disciple of Tomoto Kobori. Kokkan studied Yamato-e, Japanese-style painting, under Tomoto Kobori, focusing on courtly and military subjects such as historical events and battles. His career spanned the late Meiji period to the early Showa period (early 1900s to 1920s), he initially enjoyed considerable success at government sponsored exhibitions, frequently winning prizes. Like his brothers, Kokkan also occasionally produced kuchi-e woodblock print designs. In 1913, after all of the paintings submitted by Kokkan and his brothers were rejected by the 7th Annual Bunten exhibition, they organized a counter-exhibition, Rakusenten (‘Exhibit of Rejected Works’), in protest to the internal politics of the Bunten. They continued to rebel against the powerful government exhibitions by establishing their own organization, the Hakkakai, and exhibiting with other ‘rebel’ artists.
