- This volume emerged out of two international conferences devised and organised by Tomizawa-Kay in 2013 and 2015 in London to explore the deconstruction of borders in East Asian Art History: New Boundaries in Modern Japanese Art History: Extending Geographical, Temporal and Generic Paradigms and Deconstructing boundaries; Is 'East Asian Art History' possible? Tomizawa-Kay co-edited the book based on these conferences. This is the first comprehensive English-language study of East Asian art history in a transnational context, and challenges the existing geographic, temporal, and generic paradigms that currently frame the art history of East Asia. This pioneering study proposes an important new framework that focuses on the relationship between China, Japan, and Korea. By reconsidering existing concepts of 'East Asia', and examining the porousness of boundaries in East Asian art history, the study proposes a new model for understanding trans-local artistic production - in particular the mechanics of interactions - at the turn of the 20th century.
The two editors shared the selection of papers and the editing of all the papers to give this volume a coherent unity appropriate to the overall theme. Tomizawa-Kay co-authored the introduction and shared responsibility for seeing the volume through the press.
Tomizawa-Kay’s own paper in the volume Reinventing Localism, Tradition, and Identity: The Role of Modern Okinawan Painting (1630s - 1960s) p. 102-125 seeks to elucidate the role of modern Okinawan painting not within the framework of the national art history of Japan as is usual, but as part of a global art history. These new insights give agency to Okinawa, which uniquely in East Asia has suffered triple colonisation from America, China and Japan.
