Kanae Yamamoto became interested in provincial art objects when he visited Northern Europe and learned about their woodcraft. After his return to Japan, he initiated Provincial Art Movement and began to give lectures. Yamamoto is also memorized for his educational policy in art that encourages free and simple expressions in drawing and painting.
