Haruko Hasegawa (Japanese: 長谷川春子; 1895 – 1967) was a Japanese painter, illustrator, and writer.[1] She was known for Yōga (Western-style Japanese painting) war painting, and was a member of the Kokugakai arts organization.[2] Hasegawa visited war zones in the 1930s and 1940s, to highlight Japanese armed forces and patriotism in both her illustrations and writings.[3][4][5]

Early life and education

Haruko Hasegawa was born on February 28, 1895, in Tokyo. Her mother came from a hatamoto family, while her father practiced law, and he was one of the first in Japan to do so in a modern manner.[6] Her older sister was Shigure Hasegawa.[6] She graduated from the Futaba Junior and Senior High School [ja].[2]

Hasegawa was student of Kiyokata Kaburagi (1878–1972), a master of the ukiyo-e school.[1]

Career

Her artwork was first exhibited in 1928 in Tokyo.[1] She worked as an illustrator for Nyonin Geijutsu (1928–1932), the Japanese women's literary journal founded by her older sister.[7][8]

Hasegawa travelled to France in 1929, and held solo exhibitions at Zac Gallery in Paris that year and the following year.[1][2] When she returned to Japan in 1931, she exhibited her artwork at the Kokugakai exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, and became a member of the arts organization in 1932.[2]

During the Manchurian Incident and the Second Sino-Japanese War, she served on the front lines as a correspondent.[9][10] In 1939, Hasegawa was the only female founding member of the "Army Art Association" (Japanese: 陸軍芸術協会, romanized: Rikugun Bijitsu Kyōkai).[11] In February 1943, Hasegawa was among the founding members of the "Women Artists Service Corp." (Japanese: 女流美術家奉公隊, romanized: Jōryū Bijutsuka Hōkōtai), a paramilitary organization sponsored by the Imperial Japanese Army to engage women in patriotic activities.[11] When World War II ended, Hasegawa was ostracized in Japanese painting circles as a result of her work during the war.

A few years before her death, she illustrated The Tale of Genji. She died on May 7, 1967, in Ota Ward, Tokyo.[2]
