Ryuuchikai 龍池会 / 竜池会 Ryuchi-Kai
Group of the Dragon Pond

Later named
Nihon Bijutsu Kyookai 日本美術協会
Japan Art Association

quote
The Ryuchikai, precursor of the Japan Art Association, came into existence in 1879 in order to revive and promote Japanese art.

Right from the start the Ryuchikai saw part of its purpose as the introduction of Japanese art overseas. The first exhibitions abroad were held in Paris in 1883 and 1884. The Ryuchikai gained the support of the Imperial Family and was granted land to build an exhibition pavilion. In 1887, the name was changed to the Japan Art Association. For much of the early part of the twentieth century, the main activities of the Association were researching and cataloging Japanese artworks, and preventing their removal from Japan.

At the same time the Association encouraged a controlled export of Japanese art and craftwork as a counterbalance to the lack of industrial products that Japan had for sale. Activities ceased during the Second World War, and recovery was slow for the Association after it, but between 1968 and 1972 a new exhibition hall was completed and named the Ueno Royal Museum.

It has subsequently proved to be an important venue, hosting exhibitions from, for example, The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
