Kokka



We are pleased to offer a CD Rom edition of Kokka, inaugurated in October 1889, including Tenshin Okakura, Kenzo Takahashi and Ernest Francisco Fenollosa, is the oldest art magazine published in Japan.  It is second to the oldest art magazine in the world after the “Gazzet des beaux arts” of France.

This scholarly magazine, which is still being published, introduces arts and crafts from Japan, China, Korea, central Asia and India. 
Because of the nature of its publication and distribution very few institutes carry complete files.
