The Japanese artist has made a most careful study of how to convey tru ths in the most pleasurable way —how to make his lines most beau tiful, as though a speaker would use but words of most exquisite sound. To do this he has cultivated his ‘‘touch” un til it is bu t mockery to •compare i t with that, of his Euro pean brother.- He has learned to band1* his brush with a directness and precision which a re a th ing o f wonder, and he has studied with a f atience beyond compare the possi- ilities of each particu lar kind of brush. He knows, fo r instance, th a t one kind of brush may be used to express a bamboo Stem and th a t an other brush will be less efficacious. He knows how to fill each particu lar part of th a t brush with a certain amount of color o r o f water so that a single movement of th e hand over the paper will pain t the stem, its light and shade, its peculiar char* acteristics, complete.
