However, it has not yet been closely discussed about the first user of those terms, or the time when those terms came to be generally used and applied to the definition of “Tocho”. Ichiga Numata (1873-1954) is placed with “father of the Tocho” or “the originator of the Tocho” as the person credited with the spread of the “Tocho” in Japan. However, other artists who used earthenware as material of sculpture are Shinichi Terauchi (1863-1945) and Yozo Naito (1860-1889) because they made a“Tocho” in 1884. In addition, Numata deliberately made “Tocho” in 1900.In this paper, I attempt to clarify what kind of artist Numata was, what kind of works were made in particular of circumstances to provide reasons why Numata is considered to be “the originator of the Tocho”, and not Terauchi. Moreover, I clarify who named Numata as “the originator of the Tocho” by arranging evaluations and positionings of Numata by critics, researchers, and other artists. Finally, I try to provide a definition of “Tocho”.}, pages = {3--30}, title = {陶彫家沼田一雅考-その美術史上の位置付けと「陶彫」の用語をめぐる問題を中心に-}, year = {2015} }
