This pathway outlines major steps of artistic professionalization and assumptions about artistic training, as well as their circulation in Japan and Taiwan.
The popularity of painting as a modern profession in prewar Japan brought about the expansion of opportunities for studying art, adjusted to the needs of amateurs and aspiring professionals. Studying art from books and reproductions, attending night classes, becoming a student in a private atelier, and attending a specialized art school exemplify the major ways of attaining art education at the time. Just as studying art was necessary to launch a professional career, so was teaching art an important part of an artist's profession and a source of income.
Art magazines, books, and art teachers in Japan and its colonies popularized the knowledge of how to become a professional painter. More importantly, daily newspapers celebrated acclaimed artists and reported on young emerging artists, especially those competing in art exhibitions. Such publicity made the painterly profession even more appealing to the young generation.
