Artist continues to take on challenges by paying 12,000 yen
“I would like to submit my work to the Nitten Exhibition and win the prize.”
There are many painters, sculptors, writers, and calligraphers who have this hope. The exhibitions run by Nitten are so prestigious that even if you lose, you change your mind and keep trying. However, it would be a shock if there was a problem with getting selected, and someone in the industry whispers to you, “You won’t be able to get selected using your method.”
If an artist pays an exhibition fee of 12,000 yen every year and continues to take on challenges with all his or her heart without knowing the underlying circumstances, I can only say that I feel sorry for the artist. The media is not reporting these matters.
Some readers may have had doubts about the fact that at the beginning of the article it was written that the exhibition was “a Nitten exhibition with a history of over 100 years,” but that the Nitten exhibition was held in 2023 as the 10th edition. Indeed, this point is the key to unlocking the dark side of Nitten.
Nitten was hit by a huge earthquake 11 years ago in October 2013. The Asahi Shimbun reported that there had been fraud in the Nitten’s calligraphy screening.
Before that, let’s look back at the history of Nitten.
The roots of the Nitten are the Ministry of Education Art Exhibition (Bunten) held in 1907, followed by the Teiten (Imperial Art Academy Exhibition), the Shinbunten (New Ministry of Education Art Exhibition), and the postwar Art Exhibition. Even though the name changed to “Nitten”, it continued to reign as the core of the Japanese art world.
