Timeline on Japan from 1910 to 1920 ( John )
Part 1:
1909: Bernard Leach moves to Japan to study oriental traditions in the graphic arts.
1911: Bernard Leach discovers his future at a raku party in Japan, where each guest is invited to throw a pot.
1912: Tibet declares its independence after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the end of imperial China.
1913: Yuan Shikai outlaws the Guomindang party in the republic of China, to give himself unchallenged power as president.
1914: On August 23 Japan, with her own local agenda in the far east, declares war on Germany.
1920: The Japanese potter Shoji Hamada accompanies Bernard Leach on his return to England.
And this is the link :

Part 2:
• 1910 Japan officially annexes Korea, which remains a Japanese colony until 1945.
• 1912 Emperor Meiji dies and his third son Yoshihito (Emperor Taisho, 1879–1926) is coronated.
• 1914 On August 23, Japan declares war against Germany, entering World War I on the side of the allies Great Britain, France, and Russia. Japan is primarily motivated by a desire to expand its territorial interests, especially in China and the Pacific Islands. Although the Treaty of Versailles, which ends the war in 1919, focuses on European concerns, Japan maintains economic influence in China's Shandong Peninsula, gains control over Pacific islands formerly dominated by Germany, and joins the League of Nations.
• 1916 The first animated film is made in Japan, beginning an art form that will grow throughout the century to gain worldwide fame. Ofuji Noburo (1900–1961), who creates animated movies using cutout silhouettes, is the first Japanese filmmaker in this field to gain global recognition.
• 1918 Hara Takashi (1856–1921), head of the Seiyukai political party—the opposition of the Rikken Doshikai party (later called Kenseikai)—is named prime minister and forms what is considered Japan's first party cabinet. Although nonpartisan senior ministers succeed in appointing a nonparty successor to Hara after he is assassinated in 1921, this important step in the development of a two-party political system in Japan eventually has lasting results.
• 1923 A major earthquake, followed by firestorms, devastates the greater Tokyo region. After the resulting social uprisings and disorder are quelled, there is an enormous need for new architecture and urban restructuring.
And the link:

Part 3:
1910: Japan annexes Korea and thereby terminates the Choson dynasty.
1912: emperor Meiji dies and new emperor Taisho shifts more power to the parliament.
1914: World War I breaks out in the Balkans, pitting Britain, France, Italy, Russia, Serbia, USA and Japan against Austria, Germany and Turkey.
1923: the great Kanto earthquake devastates Tokyo.

THE GRAFFITI ARTISTS
Basquiat is, without doubt, the most important and well-known figure of the graffiti movement of the NY scene in the early 80s, but at least two other artists are worthy of being recognized here: KENNY SCHARF(born 1958) worked in Soho, where he exhibits in the Fun galleries (name given by Scharf himself) as the Civilian Warfare or the Gracie Manson. KEITH HARING (1958-1990) also worked in the Soho and East Village , but his style was even more ferocious, self-destructives than Scharf's works. Haring, arguably the most important artist of the grafitti movement, was also an accomplished figure outside the artistic world, participating in many campaigns against the HIV.
Other important artists of the graffiti movement were Mike Bildo, Tom Otterness or Rhonda Zwillinger.
