"Shōbu Garden, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo," Hasui Kawase, 1951
Kawase was intent on painting Japan's beauty, not depicting the damage done by the war. The Meiji shrine itself had been destroyed by bombers, but here he depicts the gardens as unspoiled and idyllic. It's also simultaneously modern, as the people here are in modern Western outfits.
From a private collection.

Yoshitoshi Taiso, Omori Hikoshichi
"Relaxing in the Shade," Yamakawa Shuho, c. 1933.
A beautiful little painting; the unusual scalloped edge is a great way of indicating they are in an umbrella's shadow. The style is unmistakably Japanese but it depicts the growing influence of Western fashion in Japanese society.
From the Art Institute of Chicago.
