Aesthetics and Science of Arts

Overview

The Aesthetics and Science of Arts Program within the Aesthetics and Science of Arts Department began with Ogai Mori’s Aesthetics in 1892. Though research was originally focused on aesthetics and Western art history, it later came to include Japanese and Asian art history, Western music history, and musicology.

The program has two focuses on research into non-verbal art: theoretical research (aesthetics and science of arts) and historical research (art history, music history, stage art history, and contemporary artistic theory). Full-time faculty members are complemented by several part-time lecturers who are in charge of each course and cover a wide variety of diverse fields. After studying abroad and participating in practical research activities in Japan and abroad, students will be well prepared to begin professional careers that utilize their respective specialties. The doctoral program aims to train professionals who will be active as specialized researchers both in Japan and abroad.

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    Western Art History

    My major field is the history of the Italian architecture in the 16th and 17th centuries, especially that of Florence and Rome. I am also interested in the prints and sculpture of the same period. Recently, my main research concern is about the correlation between the art/architecture and science of the period, which may be best represented by the case of Galileo Galilei.

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    Western Art History

    My research interests are modern German art, architecture, and gardens. My current research aims to explore, from the perspective of the so-called "Gartenkunstwissenschaft", the unique way in which the idea of social change and the poiesis of art were combined in Germany during the transition from the 19th to the 20th century.

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    Western Art History

    My research addresses Florentine sculpture, which is represented by articles on Luca della Robbia, Brunelleschi and on pedestals for statues. My research also covers Sienese painting, including for example my paper in the book Sassetta, Borgo San Sepolcro Altarpiece, in which I discuss the rendering of shadows by Sienese artists such as Sassetta, Giovanni di Paolo or Pietro Giovanni d’Ambrogio.

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    History of Japanese Art, Paintings and Prints

    My area of expertise is the history of painting and woodblock printing in the Edo period, while my research deals primarily with Ukiyo-e and Rinpa artists and their works. I also have a strong interest in all works from ancient to modern times that are connected with narrative and genre painting. Moreover, I am examining the monumental question of how Japanese art fits into the history of world art.

    Arts Management

    The term arts administration/arts management is used to refer to the management of arts organizations, many of which have a juridical status of nonprofit or public organization. The aim is primarily to give formal management education to arts managers and to enable arts organizations to attain effective and efficient management for social missions. Arts management is an interdisciplinary and pragmatic area, so its standard curriculum consists of various subjects such as nonprofit studies, organizational theory and behavior, strategic management, marketing, fundraising, accounting, quantitative analysis, and education in the arts. My main interests lie in nonprofit management, arts marketing, arts management education, and orchestra management.

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    Musicology, History of Western Music

    I specialize in music from the Classical period, with a particular emphasis on W.A. Mozart. I focus on issues of Mozart's compositional process and the performance practice and contemporary reception of his works by studying the original manuscripts. My research interests also include court orchestras, theaters, public concerts, and music publishing in Vienna and Salzburg in the 18th century.

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    Musicology, History of Western Music

    The main subject of my research is the music of Franz Liszt, a 19th-century Romantic-era musician. I am especially interested in his musical manuscripts for the purpose of elucidating the composition process of his religious compositions, the relationship between the many versions and arrangements of his works, and the environment in which Liszt worked and created.

  • MOCHIZUKI, Noriko

    Aesthetics and Science of Arts
    Western Art History, Art Theory

    The focus of my research is twofold: (1) to analyze early modern art and art theory in France concerning the art of Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) in particular, and (2) to analyze the establishment and transformation of artistic theory at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in the latter half of the 17th century, a theory which commended the works of Poussin as a canon. My study considers the relationship between factors related to Poussin such as his theory of production, his works and their acceptance, discourses on works and painters, social contexts, and art collections.
