| Summary | "The Dragon Painter" by Mary McNeil Fenollosa is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the vibrant setting of Tokyo, Japan, highlighting themes of artistic integrity and the struggles of an aging artist, Kano Indara, who is torn between traditional values and the encroachment of modernity. The narrative features Kano and his daughter, Umè-ko, as they navigate the complexities introduced by the arrival of Tatsu, a young painter with a wild spirit and a deep connection to the mythic. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Kano Indara, an artist who cherishes the beauty of traditional Japanese art and laments the modern influences threatening his craft. Kano’s routine is disrupted when Tatsu arrives, a mysterious young man whose raw talent captivates Kano. As the two men engage, the narrative delves into their contrasting philosophies about art and identity, with Kano desperately seeking a worthy heir to his legacy. Umè-ko, caught in her father's ambitions and her own emerging feelings, becomes a focal point as Kano envisions a future where Tatsu can embody the essence of a true "Dragon Painter," symbolizing the intersection of tradition and alluring potential in the face of change.
