***Akira Takagishi [#xa626856]
Associate Professor, Art History
Prof. Takagishi specializes in the history of painting of medieval Japan. He focuses, through presently available historical data, on clarifying how the '''yamato-e''' that developed during the Heian era were produced and enjoyed by the people in medieval Japan, and how this developed into pictorial scrolls, portraits, Buddhist picture, Buddhist doctrinal narrative paintings, screen paintings. He wants to show how, in the shifting time of the political system, the painters who answered the requests of the authorities, creatively made use of prior works. Recently he has been focusing on scroll paintings, reexamining the previous work done with famous scroll paintings from the ancient and medieval periods. His view has broadened to include lost scroll paintings for which only the copy is transmitted and the Edo picture scroll, etc. for which the full content is not yet accessible. Moreover, he considers it to be of utmost importance to encourage cooperation between local museums and the overseas museums regarding the investigation of the Japanese art works owned by overseas museums. His main works include: '''Muromachi ō ken to kaiga: shoki tosaha kenkyū''', '''Muromachi emaki no maryoku: saisei to sōzō no chūsei'''.
