“The Society also published outstanding examples of the works of Abanindranath Tagore and Nandalal Bose, originally in the Japanese process of colour woodblocks which are very accurately translated
the delicacy and flavour of the modern Indian paintings. The landmarks in this brilliant series of accurate reproductions by the Japanese process began with the colour facsimile of Bose’s Sati which was first published in the Japanese journal Kokka... Other successful reproductions by the Japanese processed covered Abanindranath’s 'Feast of lamps' and Surendranath Gangoly’s masterpiece 'Kartikeya'.”
