Dr. John Szostak is Associate Professor of Japanese Art History at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He received his B.A. from Colgate University, and earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington. He undertook his doctoral research as a Fulbright Fellow at Kyoto University, and completed his Ph.D. on the Kokuga Society and Kyoto Nihonga in 2005. He taught Japanese art history at the University of Washington and at the University of British Columbia before coming to the University of Hawaii in 2006. His primary research interests are in the history of Japanese neotraditional painting (Nihonga) of the late 19th and early 20th century, and more broadly, in changing attitudes towards traditional Japanese arts and aesthetics in the modern and post-modern periods. He is currently involved in a translation project entitled "Art Sources and Documents of the Meiji, Taishō and early Showa Era (1860s-1940s)" and a book-length study of modernist Buddhist painting of Japan.
