Taisho Roman is a cultural movement in Japan that emerged during the Taisho era (1912-1926). It is characterized by a blend of Western influences and traditional Japanese aesthetics, reflecting the social changes and modernization of the time. This period saw a rise in literature, art, and fashion that embraced new ideas and styles, often focusing on themes of individualism and emotional expression. The movement is often associated with notable figures such as Yasunari Kawabata and Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, who explored complex human emotions in their works. Taisho Roman also influenced visual arts, leading to the creation of unique paintings and designs that combined Western techniques with Japanese motifs.
