Features: After compiling the poems, illustrations, and essays in "The World of Tōyō Kiyoshi," I deeply felt that not only in his paintings and art essays but also in his travel writings—whether from his journeys in Germany, Austria, and Northern Europe, or his travel accounts of Japan and China—Tōyō's cultural sensibility has become an inherent consciousness, an awareness. It is precisely this profound understanding and affinity for traditional culture that has taken root in Tōyō Kiyoshi's heart, becoming the pillar of beauty in his literature and the foundation of beauty in his paintings. It guides readers to a realm of beauty, to the world of Tōyō Kiyoshi's true, good, and perfect beauty.
