Shunyo-kai art society (), is a Japanese art society founded in 1922 by the Western-style (yà Âga) artists from the painting department of Nihon Bijutsuin (English: Japan Visual Arts Academy). As of 2021, they have some 200 members. They annually hold a large scale exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
The Shunyo-kai art society started in 1922, after a group of Nihon Bijutsuin art students rebelled against the lessons and wanted to focus on the Western-style (yà Âga). It emerged as the third yà Âga art society, and competed against the Teikoku Bijutsuin (the Imperial Fine Arts Academy), and the Nika Association. The founding group members from Nihon Bijutsuin include GenâÂÂichirà  Adachi, Noboru Hasegawa, Yamamoto Kanae, Misai Kosugi, Hakuyà  Kurata, Morita Tsunetomo, and Ryà «zaburà  Umehara; and the founding guest members include Ishii Tsuruzà Â, Keishi Imazeki, Ryà «sei Kishida, Shà Âhachi Kimura, Sadao Tsubaki, Kazumasa Nakagawa, Shà Âzà  Yamazaki, and Tetsugorà  Yorozu.
