Abstract

Mutual contacts between East and West along the history have always been a cause of enrichment for both parts. The same enrichment has happened in the history of art: mutual influences are in the origin of new artistic streams. Giovanni Cola, a Jesuit of tremendous capacity for inculturation, was able to penetrate in the culture of the Far East and, at the same time, he afforded the artistic values of western art, especially to Japan.
