About Gôbara Kotô

Lived 1887 – 1965 (aged 77). Gôbara Kotô was a Japanese painter.

Gobara Koto (August 8, 1887 – April 6, 1965 (Masumi Takei graduated from the Metal Casting Department of Tokyo Art School in 1896 and was employed as an art teacher at Matsumoto Junior High School in 1900.)

Taiwan Art Exhibition The original idea of the Taiwan Exhibition was originally promoted by some Japanese art teachers and art enthusiasts in Taiwan. It was originally hoped that the exhibition would be promoted by the private sector. The magazine "Taiwan Times" at that time published an article by Tōho Shiotsuki, which mentioned that he, Gohara Kotō, Kinichiro Ishikawa, and others discussed the preparation of the Taiwan Art Exhibition near Taipei New Park. However, when they reported the matter to the officials, officials told them that they wanted the Government House authorities to host the exhibition. Later, the Taiwan Art Exhibition was organized by the Taiwan Education Association. Although it was nominally a private legal person, its main members were all important officials of the Governor-General's Office. Therefore, the Taiwan Art Exhibition can be regarded as an official exhibition with the taste of the colonial authorities. The exhibition is divided into two departments: the Eastern Painting Department and the Western Painting Department. From 1927 to 1936, the Taiwan Exhibition was held ten times, and Xiangyuan Gutong served as a judge for one to nine of them. The Taiwan Exhibition allowed many young artists to express themselves, the most famous of whom were the " Three Young Artists of the Taiwan Exhibition " ( Lin Yushan, Chen Jin, and Guo Xuehu ) at that time.

Film and television works In the 2016 TV series " Purple Daocheng ", she was played by Katsuki Baba.
