Abstract Since the twenties of Meiji era, Ogai Mori commented on exhibitions of oil paintings held in Japan and engaged in controversies about Western paintings by Japanese painters. In his serialized novel Yo...uth, started in Meiji 43, several famous paintings and actual painters appear. They relate with the mental state of the protagonist at every scene.
