Abstract
The article describes the special interest that representatives of Japanese intelligentsia took in the personality and professional work of the outstanding Ukrainian art critic and museum curator Borys Voznytskyi. During the times of the Soviet regime, in the conditions of ideological oppression and the destruction of spiritual heritage in Ukraine (religious art, in particular), Borys Voznytskyi preserved artistic rarities of Ukraine (Halychyna), particularly the works of Johann Georg Pinsel. The article traces the creative contact of the cultural scholar Fue Katayama with the Lviv maestro and her initiative to publish in Japan an illustrated album of Pinsel’s works. The publication took place in a tragic year for Japan, in the aftermath of the disaster at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant. The publication of the album is shown as a manifestation of the concept of “on” — a spiritual obligation, taken on by Fue Katayama.
