The Taishō Era (1912–1926) in Japanese painting marked a period of artistic fusion and experimentation. Artists blended traditional Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) with Western techniques like realism and perspective, influenced by modernism and European art movements. This era celebrated individual expression, subtle color palettes, and poetic, dreamlike imagery, often seen in woodblock prints and illustrations.
