Nikakai [Second Division Society].
Society of progressive Japanese artists. It was founded in 1914 by the painters Halentei Ishi, Shinto Yamashita and Honjiro Sakamoto, among others. The name is a reference to the divisions of Japanese government exhibitions, the First Division covering traditional work and the Second, the new school of art. Nikakai was seen as a breakaway movement from the official selection process. The first exhibition was held in 1914 with annual presentations thereafter. Sculpture was included from 1919. After World War II, exhibitions covered painting, sculpture, commercial art, photography and art theory.
