It is a characteristic of art in Japan that there are two styles of painting, Japanese and Western. In nurturing their sense of beauty, Japanese have been influenced both by their indigenous artistic culture and by the expression and way of pursuing beauty on the part of foreign arts. This is particularly true in public art education in Japan, which imported a great many ideas of western painting to enrich the Japanese way of thinking and expression.The purpose of this paper is to clarify how the ideas of western painting influenced the viewpoint and expression of N. Inamori (1892-1978), who was an ordinary school teacher, that is; a typical Japanese.N. Inamori, who was brought up in the Japanese culture, nurtured his sense of beauty within its confines. Then, in school, he received ringa (conventional training in copying pictures in the textbook), jiyuga (style of painting free from textbook restraints) education and studied Western viewpoint and expression. However, he could not understand scientific and analytical perception and expression. Later, retiring from teaching, he did Japanese painting and calligraphy as his hobby.By pursuing the process of nurturing his sense of beauty and analyzing his paintings, the following three points were clarified. (1) The technique of line drawings by ringa influenced the form of his expression for a long time. While, jiyuga education made him perceive and portray the essense of nature and life directly. It put stress on children's individual freedom, inner expression and their subjective activity. (2) Education in Western painting taught him the importance of observing objects attentively and rationally ; scientifically, analytically and mathematically. Technically, it taught himthe lams of perspective and shading, so on. But, he could not understand the Western thought behind the techniques, especially the thought that aimed at the perfected ego and the development of science. (3) He could not perceive and paint nature objectively and concretely as a third party. Because, he does not perceive the world in opposition to ego, but he finds his self in the world. The emotion, viewpoint, and expression that he had experienced in his early days was his basic and fundamental way of perception, expression and sense of beauty.
